2020 Ford Transit Custom 280LEADER Eblue 2.0L Diesel · SA70 AYT

The vehicle’s most recent MOT in September 2025 at 130,968 miles was passed without defects, suggesting a stable maintenance trend for now. However, the absence of recurring issues like the tyre faults noted in 2023 raises questions about whether underlying wear has been addressed. The consistent passing of tests since 2023 implies that any problems may have been resolved or are not yet critical, but the high mileage increases the risk of latent failures in high-stress components. The mileage pattern shows rapid accumulation, with 21,828 miles per year since 2020, which is significantly above average for a vehicle of this age. Between 2023 and 2025, the mileage increased by 42,562 miles in two years, indicating sustained use. This level of exposure could accelerate wear on consumables like tyres, brakes, and suspension, as well as stress structural elements. The lack of gaps in the MOT history suggests regular servicing, but the high annual mileage contradicts the notion of light use, pointing to potential neglect in addressing wear-related advisories. The buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the mileage and the 2023 tyre faults, which may indicate compromised ride quality or alignment issues. Brakes warrant close attention due to the high mileage; binding calipers or worn discs could have developed since the last test. Structural rust, especially in wheel arches or the undercarriage, should be checked for corrosion that might compromise safety. Additionally, the current tyre condition must be verified, as the 2023 advisory suggests a history of tread wear that could recur if maintenance has been inconsistent.
