2022 Ford Transit Custom 280LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · SM22 BWB

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 6 July 2026 with no defects or advisories recorded. This represents a positive maintenance trend, as the previous inspection in July 2025 had noted concerns regarding the condition of the front tyres. The absence of these advisories in the latest report suggests that the necessary replacements or repairs have been carried out, indicating a stable and proactive approach to the vehicle's roadworthiness. With a recorded mileage of 34,648 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 8,662 miles per annum. This usage rate is considered typical for a commercial vehicle of this specification and suggests a balanced duty cycle. It avoids the accelerated wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushes associated with high-mileage workhorses, while also avoiding the specific risks of prolonged standing, such as seized brake calipers or perished rubber seals. Despite the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should perform a detailed physical inspection of all tyres. Given the previous advisory regarding perishing and cracking, it is essential to verify the manufacture date codes of the current tyres to ensure they are not aged, as rubber degradation can occur regardless of tread depth. During a test drive, listen for any knocks or clunks from the front suspension and check for uneven tyre wear, which could indicate the need for wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. Attention should also be paid to the vehicle's service history to ensure that fluid changes have been performed based on time intervals rather than just mileage. Specifically, check for evidence of brake fluid moisture contamination and ensure the engine oil has been replaced according to the manufacturer's schedule. Finally, inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and verify the health of the 12V battery, as these are common points of failure in vehicles with moderate usage patterns.
