2019 Ford Transit 290 Trend Ecoblue 2.0L Diesel · MW69 BFE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent MOT history indicates a lapse in proactive electrical maintenance. While the Transit passed its test in November 2025 at 77,956 miles, it initially failed due to an electronic stability control warning lamp and a damaged windscreen. The fact that the ESC fault was rectified prior to the retest suggests the owner addressed the issue, but the appearance of an electronic fault at this mileage marks a departure from the previous clean records. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a typical light-commercial usage profile, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. There is a clear gap of 7,688 miles between the December 2022 test at 53,888 miles and the January 2024 test at 61,577 miles, followed by a more rapid accumulation of 16,379 miles leading up to the November 2025 inspection. This steady usage suggests regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which generally benefits mechanical components such as suspension bushings and drivetrain seals. A buyer must specifically investigate the electronic stability system to ensure the reported fault was fully resolved and not a symptom of a failing sensor or wiring loom. Given the previous clean records from 2022 and 2024, the vehicle appears to have been well-maintained, but the physical inspection should focus on any signs of corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system, which are common on Transits of this age. The front windscreen should also be checked for any chips that could expand into the driver's field of view, as the previous test noted existing damage.
