2019 Ford Transit Custom 300 Limited Heavy oil · UBZ 611

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 22 October 2025 at 174,676 miles with no defects recorded. This result indicates a stable maintenance trend following a brief failure in October 2024. While the failure at 158,861 miles suggests a specific issue required rectification, the subsequent clean pass at higher mileage shows that the owner addressed the necessary repairs to keep the vehicle within legal safety and operational standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a seven-year-old van, averaging approximately 25,000 miles per year. Between May 2022 and October 2023, the vehicle covered over 42,000 miles, a period of heavy commercial use. The more recent interval between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests shows another 15,589 miles added in a single year. This consistent, rapid accumulation suggests long-distance motorway driving or constant heavy loading, which inevitably accelerates the wear on the engine, suspension system, and drivetrain components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry, as the high mileage often stresses the rubber bushes, control arms, and coil springs. Given the heavy usage, the braking system should be checked for worn calipers or thin discs that may not have triggered a failure. While the record shows no structural corrosion, the chassis and underbody should be examined for surface rust or impact damage, as high-mileage commercial vehicles are prone to accelerated degradation in these areas over time.
