2022 Ford Transit Custom 280LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · NA22 CNE

The 2022 Ford Transit Custom 280 Limited presents a stable and reassuring maintenance profile based on the available DVSA record. The most recent test, conducted on 7 July 2025 at 39,652 miles, passed with zero defects or advisories. This clean bill of health indicates that, at the time of testing, all critical safety and emissions systems met the required standard. With only a single recorded test in the dataset, a long-term trend cannot be established, but the current status is undeniably positive. Mileage accumulation sits at approximately 9,913 miles per year, which is typical for a light commercial vehicle of this age and suggests consistent, regular use rather than prolonged standing or excessively high annual distances. The single recorded entry at 39,652 miles aligns precisely with the current odometer reading, implying the vehicle has covered negligible mileage since its July 2025 test. This could indicate a period of very light use or limited activity in the twelve months following the test. Despite the clean MOT outcome, a prospective buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection. The Transit Custom is a work van, and its condition often depends more on how it was loaded and maintained than on MOT results alone. Examine the suspension for worn bushes, deteriorating drop links, and uneven coil spring seating, as these components endure significant stress in commercial use. Inspect the braking system for uneven disc wear, binding calipers, and deteriorated flexible hoses, particularly at the rear axle where load-related wear is most pronounced. Pay close attention to structural integrity, especially around the rear load area, wheel arches, and cab floor, where corrosion can develop from cargo spillage or standing water. Check the exhaust system for leaks or excessive soot around manifold joints and the DPF assembly, given the EcoBlue diesel engine's sensitivity to short-trip operation. Tyre condition and tread depth across all four corners, including the spare, should be verified, as uneven wear patterns can reveal alignment or suspension geometry issues not flagged in a static MOT inspection.
