2019 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · SV69 XSN

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding brake lines and suspension components. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 107,073 miles passed, the tester identified multiple corroded brake pipe points and a noisy nearside front wheel bearing. These issues represent a regression from the clean record seen in 2024, indicating that wear-related components are beginning to fail as the vehicle reaches high-mileage thresholds. The Ford Transit exhibits a high mileage profile for its age, averaging approximately 15,300 miles per year. There is a significant surge in usage between September 2022 at 61,787 miles and October 2023 at 90,738 miles, covering nearly 29,000 miles in just thirteen months. This intensive usage pattern continued with another 16,000 miles recorded by the 2024 test. Such high mileage suggests heavy commercial use, which explains the accelerated wear on the drivetrain and ancillary components like the braking system. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the braking system due to the recurring corrosion on brake pipes across multiple corners noted in 2023 and 2025. The presence of grease on these pipes suggests a previous attempt to mask rust or leaks, which necessitates a thorough check of the hydraulic integrity. The noisy nearside front wheel bearing requires immediate replacement, and the previously pitted brake discs from 2023 likely require attention or are nearing the end of their service life. Buyers should also inspect the rear tyres for perishing, as the 2023 advisory indicated rubber degradation despite the high mileage.
