2019 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · TR11 KEN

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift from pristine records to reactive neglect. While the van achieved three clean passes between 2022 and 2024, the most recent test in March 2026 at 65,041 miles revealed multiple defects across the braking and hydraulic systems. This transition suggests that preventative maintenance has been deferred, leading to an accumulation of wear that finally reached an advisory threshold. The mileage pattern is consistent with a light-use commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per year over its seven-year life. The record shows steady accumulation from 24,162 miles in April 2022 to 65,041 miles in 2026. However, the jump of over 10,000 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests coincides with the appearance of significant mechanical issues, indicating that the vehicle may have been subjected to heavier loads or harsher conditions during this final interval. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the entire braking system. The March 2026 test flagged corroded brake pipes on all corners and worn, pitted discs, with the inner front pads noted as low. The presence of grease or material covering the front pipes is particularly concerning as it can mask advancing corrosion until a pipe failure is imminent. Additionally, the power steering hose seepage noted in 2025 should be verified to ensure it has not progressed into a significant leak that would compromise steering integrity.
