2020 Ford Transit Custom 280LEADER Eblue 2.0L Diesel · WG70 FPZ

The vehicle maintains a positive roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend following a minor setback. The most recent inspection on 13 November 2025 at 140,584 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all legal safety standards. While the vehicle failed its previous test on 5 November 2024 at 112,059 miles, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the identified issue was rectified promptly. The mileage profile reflects heavy commercial usage for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging over 23,000 miles per year. Between November 2023 at 85,732 miles and November 2024 at 112,060 miles, the vehicle covered 26,328 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation is consistent with long-distance fleet work, which places significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension components. The consistency of the annual testing interval suggests the vehicle has been in regular use rather than sitting for long periods. A buyer-led inspection should focus on components most susceptible to high-mileage wear cycles. Given the 140,000-mile milestone, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and ball joints is necessary to identify signs of play or fatigue. The braking system should be evaluated for thin discs or uneven pad wear, as high-frequency use often accelerates component degradation. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion, the chassis should be inspected for surface rust, particularly around the stress points common on Ford Transit models of this age.
