2022 Ford Transit Custom 280LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · MX22 UFL

A clean MOT record across the last two examinations, with the most recent test on 8 May 2026 passing without any recorded defects, indicates that the vehicle has not presented any safety‑critical failures to the DVSA during that period. The absence of advisories or failures suggests that, at the time of testing, the essential systems—brakes, lights, emissions, and structural integrity—met the statutory standards. At 127 516 miles for a 2022 model, the average annual accumulation approaches 32 000 miles, considerably above the typical UK fleet average. Such mileage density accelerates wear on consumables and moving components, meaning that items such as brake pads, discs, tyre tread, suspension bushings, and drivetrain bearings are likely to be approaching the latter stages of their service lives. The MOT history shows no testing gaps, so the mileage progression appears continuous rather than punctuated by long periods of inactivity. When you inspect the vehicle, pay particular attention to brake performance: listen for any squeal or grinding on application, feel for pedal pulsation, and check for uneven pad wear across the discs. Examine the front and rear suspension by applying pressure over each wheel and listening for clunks or excessive bounce, which could reveal worn bushings or deteriorated coil springs. Verify tyre condition for tread depth and sidewall integrity, and watch for any pulling to one side that might indicate alignment or bearing issues. Engine and transmission should be assessed for smooth acceleration without judder, and a visual check for oil or coolant leaks around the valve cover, oil pan, and coolant hoses is prudent given the high mileage. Given the mileage intensity, an independent mechanical inspection that includes a brake disc thickness check, suspension component wear measurement, and a thorough fluid analysis would provide a clearer picture of remaining component life. Confirm that all service bulletins applicable to this model have been addressed, and ensure that any upcoming scheduled maintenance items—such as timing belt or chain replacement, if required by the manufacturer—are factored into the purchase decision.
