2019 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · NC53 FTS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent history of passing results. The most recent test on 13 August 2025 at 98,910 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just one day prior at 98,908 miles. This specific sequence suggests a minor administrative issue or a trivial component failure that was immediately rectified before the re-test. Overall, the vehicle has maintained a clean mechanical record across the last four inspection cycles. The mileage reflects a high-use commercial pattern consistent with a Transit Custom, averaging approximately 14,100 miles per year over its seven-year life. Between the August 2022 test at 62,002 miles and the August 2025 test at 98,910 miles, the vehicle covered over 36,000 miles, indicating steady and heavy operation. There are no significant gaps in the testing schedule, which would suggest long periods of neglect. The high annual mileage typically accelerates the wear on drivetrain and suspension components, yet the lack of recorded advisories indicates proactive upkeep. While the MOT record shows no recurring advisories or structural corrosion, a buyer must physically inspect high-wear areas prone to fatigue at 100,000 miles. Focus on the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of sagging or tearing, as high-mileage vans often suffer here under heavy loads. The brake discs and calipers should be checked for thinning or uneven wear, given the consistent high-mileage profile. Additionally, inspect the chassis for early-stage surface rust around mounting points, as the MOT only flags structural integrity once it reaches a significant threshold of decay.
