2022 Ford Transit Custom 320LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · MX22 UFR

A recurring pattern of tyre degradation and lighting defects characterizes the recent inspection history for this vehicle, with the most recent test on 20 February 2026 showing a pass following a failure for an inoperative registration plate lamp. The records indicate a persistent issue with the front registration plate deteriorating, which has appeared as an advisory in every test since February 2025. Furthermore, the history shows a transition from a dangerous failure in February 2025, involving a structural bulge in the offside rear tyre, to a more recent advisory regarding cracking or perishing on the nearside rear tyre in February 2026. The vehicle has covered 62,488 miles in approximately four years, representing an annual average of roughly 15,622 miles. This level of usage is high for a vehicle of this age and suggests consistent, heavy-duty operation. Mechanically, this higher mileage accumulation typically accelerates the wear on consumable components such as braking systems, suspension bushings, and tyres. The MOT history supports this, as evidenced by the advisories regarding worn front and rear brake discs recorded in February 2025. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the condition of the tyres and the braking system during a physical inspection and test drive. Given the history of structural tyre failures and recent advisories for perishing rubber, examine all four tyres for sidewall cracking, bulges, or uneven tread wear. On the road, listen for any rhythmic thumping or vibration that could indicate internal tyre carcass damage, and check for any steering pull that might suggest uneven tyre wear or suspension issues. The previous advisories for worn brake discs mean it is essential to test the braking performance; listen for any grinding noises during deceleration and feel for any pedal judder or pulsations, which could indicate further disc deterioration or uneven surface wear. Finally, verify that all external lighting, specifically the registration plate illumination, is fully operational, as this has been a recurring failure and advisory point. While the most recent test resolved the major failure regarding the registration plate lamp, the repeated nature of these electrical and peripheral defects warrants a thorough check of all exterior bulbs and housing integrity. The combination of high annual mileage and the recorded wear on the braking components suggests that a detailed inspection of the remaining service life of these consumables is necessary.
