2024 Ford Transit Custom 320 MS-RT EV Electric · MS12 RTT

The vehicle currently shows no recorded MOT history with the DVSA, which is entirely consistent with its 2024 registration. In the United Kingdom, new vehicles are exempt from mandatory MOT testing until they reach their third anniversary, meaning this Transit Custom is not yet due for its initial inspection. Consequently, it is impossible to establish a maintenance trend or identify historical failure points through official testing records at this stage. The absence of data should be viewed as a reflection of the vehicle's age rather than a lack of maintenance. Regarding mileage, the lack of recorded data prevents a definitive assessment of the annual usage rate or the intensity of the vehicle's application. For a commercial vehicle such as the MS-RT Transit, it is vital to determine whether it has been used for high-frequency urban deliveries or long-distance motorway transit. Without a mileage history to compare against the vehicle's age, there is a risk of overlooking excessive wear on drivetrain components or suspension elements. You must verify the current odometer reading against the manufacturer's service intervals and any available service logs to ensure the mileage is consistent and that the vehicle has not been subjected to unrecorded heavy-duty usage. As this is an electric vehicle, your inspection should focus on high-voltage integrity and battery health. While EVs have fewer moving parts, you should pay close attention to the condition of the 12V auxiliary battery, which is critical for electronic systems and can degrade if the vehicle has been left standing for extended periods. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for any signs of perishing or cracking, particularly if the vehicle has seen low mileage, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. You should also check the cooling system for the battery thermal management to ensure there are no signs of leaks or degradation in the coolant. Furthermore, be aware that the mechanical braking system may require specific attention. Because electric vehicles rely heavily on regenerative braking, the physical brake discs and calipers may experience more rapid surface corrosion or binding due to less frequent mechanical application. During a test drive, listen for any grinding or squealing during low-speed manoeuvres and check for any uneven tyre wear which could indicate worn suspension bushes or dampers. Ensuring that the vehicle has a complete and documented service history is essential to verify its roadworthiness in the absence of an MOT record.
