2019 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · P24 DAE

Consistent roadworthiness is the defining characteristic of this Ford Transit Custom, evidenced by a five-year streak of clean MOT results with no recorded defects or advisories. The most recent test on 09 April 2026 confirms this trend, showing the vehicle has maintained a defect-free status through every annual inspection since 2022. This lack of recorded failures or even minor advisories suggests that the primary components inspected during the MOT process, such as lighting, braking systems, and structural integrity, have met the required standards without any noted deterioration in recent years. The vehicle's usage profile shows a relatively high accumulation of mileage for a seven-year-old commercial van, with 84,566 miles currently recorded. This equates to an average annual usage of approximately 12,081 miles. While this is higher than typical domestic car usage, it represents a consistent and active operational history rather than erratic or extreme heavy-duty commercial use. Mechanically, this level of mileage implies that while the vehicle has not been subject to long periods of inactivity, there will be a predictable level of wear on consumable components such as brake pads, discs, suspension bushes, and various drivetrain elements. Given the absence of any recorded advisories for corrosion, leaks, or suspension wear in the DVSA history, a prospective buyer should focus on verifying the physical condition of components that are not always the primary focus of an MOT, such as the clutch and gearbox engagement. During a test drive, pay close attention to the smoothness of gear changes and the bite point of the clutch to ensure no premature wear has occurred from the higher mileage. Additionally, listen for any rhythmic knocking or clunking from the front or rear suspension when traversing uneven surfaces, as this can indicate wear in the bushes or dampers that has not yet reached the threshold for an MOT advisory. Because the MOT record is entirely clear of any reported oil misting or fluid leaks, it is prudent to inspect the engine bay and underbody for any signs of recent seepage around the rocker cover or sump. Check for any steering pull or vibration through the steering wheel at motorway speeds, which could indicate tyre wear or wheel alignment issues not captured in the previous tests. While the official record shows no faults, the mileage suggests that a thorough inspection of the braking system for any signs of binding calipers or uneven disc wear is a necessary step in a physical evaluation.
