2022 Ford Transit Custom 340LMTD Eblue A 2.0L Diesel · OY22 ULT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the van passed its most recent test in March 2026 at 25,276 miles, this followed a failure just one month prior at 25,259 miles. The February 2026 failure highlighted critical safety issues regarding mismatched tyre sizes on the rear axle and thin rear brake pads. The trend suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they are imminent to cause an MOT failure. At 25,276 miles over four years, the Ford Transit has averaged approximately 6,300 miles per year, which is consistent with a light-use commercial profile. However, the mileage jump of 6,759 miles between February 2025 and February 2026 indicates a more recent increase in usage compared to previous years. This rapid accumulation, combined with the repeated failures in early 2025, suggests the vehicle may have been subjected to loads that exceed the specifications of the components previously fitted. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and wheel geometry. The February 2025 failure flagged all four tyres for inadequate load indices and noted inner edge wear on the front tyres, which typically indicates significant misalignment or worn suspension bushes. Furthermore, the recurring issue of thin brake pads across both front and rear axles between 2025 and 2026 suggests the braking system is being neglected or that calipers are sticking. Ensure that all currently fitted tyres meet the specific load ratings for the axle weights of this vehicle to prevent structural failure or premature tyre wear.
