2019 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · T26 TBL

A consistent history of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, which has secured five consecutive MOT passes without a single recorded defect or advisory. This trend of stability is confirmed by the latest clean result on 27 March 2026, indicating that the vehicle has consistently met the minimum legal requirements for safety and emissions over the last several years. The accumulation of 138,980 miles over roughly seven years averages nearly 20,000 miles per annum, which is high for this age. Such a usage pattern suggests the vehicle has been subjected to significant operational stress, meaning that consumables and structural components have undergone substantially more wear and tear than a typical low-mileage equivalent. Given the absence of specific MOT advisories, a physical inspection should focus on the high-wear areas associated with this mileage. During a test drive, pay close attention to the clutch engagement point and look for any signs of slippage under load, as well as any shuddering through the drivetrain during acceleration. Listen for knocks or clunks from the suspension linkages and steering rack when traversing uneven surfaces, as these components often degrade before they reach a failure threshold detectable during a stationary MOT test. Check for any evidence of oil misting or leaks around the engine block and turbocharger, and ensure the gear transitions are smooth and precise. While the MOT record is clean, the high mileage necessitates a thorough check of the brake pedal feel for any softness or pulsation, which would indicate worn discs or binding calipers that may not have been flagged as failures but are nearing the end of their operational life.
