2022 Ford Transit Custom 300 Trail Eblue 2.0L Diesel · SW71 EUP

The vehicle is roadworthy according to the 28 January 2026 MOT at 62,185 miles, yet the tester flagged both rear and front brake discs as worn, pitted or scored, though not seriously weakened. This advisory represents the first recorded defect since the previous test, indicating that brake wear is emerging but the overall maintenance trend remains acceptable. At four years old the Transit has accumulated 62,185 miles, roughly 15,500 miles per year, which is high for its age. Between the 30 January 2025 test at 45,234 miles and the January 2026 test the mileage rose by 16,951 miles in just twelve months, confirming a period of intensive use rather than prolonged storage. No other defects were recorded, suggesting that routine servicing has kept the vehicle largely compliant. A prospective buyer should give the braking system a close visual and functional inspection. Check the disc surfaces for deep scoring, measure disc thickness against manufacturer minimums, and verify that calipers move freely without binding. While the MOT advisory notes no structural weakening, confirming even pad wear and consistent pedal feel will rule out hidden corrosion or uneven heating. Inspect suspension components such as bushings and coil springs for signs of fatigue, and examine tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, as the high mileage rate accelerates consumable wear. A thorough look for rust on the chassis and underbody will ensure no hidden structural issues have developed.
