2020 Ford Transit Courier 1.0L Petrol · MW69 PHA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline in the most recent interval. While it passed the test on August 12,2025 at 102,406 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior at 102,403 miles. The transition from a clean-record history to multiple failures regarding drive boots, leaks, and tyres suggests that repairs are only being addressed when necessary to pass the inspection rather than through a proactive preventative schedule. This Ford Transit Courier has accumulated significant mileage rapidly, averaging approximately 17,000 miles per year over its six-year life. Between August 2023 (65,535 miles) and August 2025 (102,406 miles), the vehicle covered nearly 37,000 miles in just two years. This high rate of use places considerable stress on the drivetrain and engine components. The clean records from 2022 and 2024 suggest the vehicle was previously well-maintained, but the recent failures indicate the high-mileage wear is now impacting critical mechanical areas. A buyer must inspect the front-end assembly closely, as the record flags a severely deteriorated nearside CV boot and a split offside boot from late 2025. These conditions allow grease to escape and grit to enter, leading to premature joint failure. The inner edge wear noted on the nearside front tyre also indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes, which should be verified to prevent further rapid tyre degradation. Additionally, the recorded oil leak noted in the 2025 test requires a physical inspection to determine if it is a minor seep or a more serious gasket failure from the sump cover or crank seal.
