2019 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · PR09 RAS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline in preventative care. While it passed its most recent test in August 2025 at 79,174 miles, the record reveals multiple areas of wear that were ignored until the MOT tester intervened. The shift from the clean records seen in 2022 and 2023 suggests that the owner is now only addressing faults upon inspection failure rather than performing scheduled maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical commercial-use cycle, averaging approximately 11,300 miles per year. The vehicle covered 15,000 miles between August 2023 and August 2024, and another 11,129 miles between August 2024 and August 2025. This steady usage indicates the van has not sat idle, but the failure in August 2024 at 68,045 miles due to an inoperative engine Management light suggests a past electrical or sensor issue that required rectification. A buyer must closely inspect the braking system and tyres, as the 2024 and 2025 tests repeatedly flagged thin brake pads and worn tyres. The 2025 report specifically noted front brake discs as worn and a nearside front tyre reaching the legal limit, indicating that consumables are being run hard. The recurring edge wear on the offside front tyre across consecutive years suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require a professional check. Verify the engine management light is now functioning correctly to ensure the 2024 failure was properly addressed and not merely cleared.
