2020 Ford Transit Custom 340LEADER Eblue 2.0L Diesel · SM69 AFE

The vehicle presents a roadworthy status following a clean MOT pass on 23 January 2026 at 131,518 miles. The maintenance trend appears remarkably stable over the last three years, as the vehicle has consistently passed tests without recorded defects. The anomalous failure on 22 January 2026, just one day prior to the pass at 131,475 miles, likely represents an administrative error or a minor technicality that was rectified immediately, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage profile indicates heavy commercial usage for a six-year-old van, averaging approximately 22,000 miles per annum. Between January 2023 and January 2024, the vehicle covered 23,756 miles, followed by another jump of 24,478 miles in the subsequent year. This consistent high-mile accumulation suggests long-distance motorway driving, which typically places specific stress on the drivetrain compared to city driving. The lack of advisories across these high-mileage tests suggests the previous owners were proactive in addressing wear items before they reached a MOT failure threshold. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components typical of a 131,000-mile Ford Transit. Examine the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs for signs of fatigue or tearing, as these often degrade under heavy loads. Given the mileage, verify the brake discs for thinning and check the calipers for any signs of binding. While the MOT record is clean, the structural integrity of the chassis and underbody for corrosion remains a priority to ensure the high-mileage history has not led to accelerated metal fatigue.
