2020 Ford Transit Custom 300LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · SC14 GAS

The most recent MOT test conducted on 2 July 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Looking at the historical data, the maintenance trend for this vehicle is exceptionally stable, with a consistent record of clean passes. While a failure was noted on 2 October 2023, it was rectified within twenty four hours, indicating a minor issue rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The absence of any advisories over several years suggests a vehicle that has been well maintained or has seen relatively light duty. The recorded mileage of 38,701 miles is low for a six year old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 6,450 miles per annum. This usage profile is significantly below the national average for Ford Transit Customs, which typically accumulate far higher mileage in fleet or trade roles. Mechanically, this implies reduced wear on the drivetrain, clutch, and suspension components. However, low annual mileage can sometimes lead to specific issues related to vehicle inactivity, which requires a targeted physical inspection. Given the clean MOT history, the buyer should focus on age related degradation rather than wear and tear. It is essential to inspect the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or ozone cracking, as tyres can expire due to age even if the tread depth remains legal. Particular attention should be paid to the brake system; check for surface corrosion on the brake discs and ensure there are no binding calipers, which can occur when a vehicle is not driven frequently enough to keep the components clear of oxidation. Finally, verify the service history to ensure that oil and filter changes have been performed based on time intervals rather than just mileage. Brake fluid and coolant degrade over time regardless of distance travelled and should be checked for contamination. For this E-Blue model, the health of the 12V auxiliary battery should be tested, as these can fail prematurely if the vehicle has experienced periods of standing. A thorough check of the service book stamps will confirm whether the vehicle has been maintained according to the manufacturer's calendar requirements.
