2022 Ford Transit Custom 280LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · SN22 KTK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 21 April 2026 at 42,184 miles. The maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern rather than proactive care. The vehicle failed the test just one day prior due to multiple safety-related defects including a failed headlamp, an ineffective wiper blade, and a structural failure in the nearside rear tyre. While these issues were rectified immediately to achieve a pass, the owner only addresses faults when prompted by a testing failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a four-year-old commercial vehicle averaging approximately 10,500 miles per annum. Between the April 2025 test at 30,642 miles and the April 2026 test at 42,184 miles, the vehicle covered 11,542 miles. This steady usage suggests the van has been used regularly, which generally prevents internal components from seizing, though it places standard wear on the braking system and suspension components. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, as the April 2025 test flagged that the nearside rear brakes were only just meeting imbalance requirements. This indicates a potential issue with sticking calipers or uneven pad wear that requires a physical inspection. The recent failure of the nearside rear tyre due to structural separation also suggests the possibility of impact damage or poor tyre quality, necessitating a thorough check of the remaining tyres for sidewall bulges or cords. Given the nature of the wiper and headlamp failures, verify that these peripheral components have been replaced with high-quality parts rather than temporary fixes to pass the MOT.
