2026 Ford Transit Custom 320 Limited EV Electric · WM26 OSF

As there are no MOT test results recorded against this vehicle in the DVSA history, no official pass or fail outcome can be stated, and consequently no maintenance trend can be established from regulatory testing records. The absence of an MOT entry is unusual for a 2026 registration year, but it likely reflects either very recent first registration, a delay in the MOT becoming due, or that the data has simply not yet been uploaded to the central record. Until at least one test has been carried out and recorded, the prospective buyer has no DVSA-verified baseline against which to judge the mechanical condition of this Transit Custom, and any assessment must therefore rest entirely on physical inspection, age-appropriate checks, and verification of the manufacturer's pre-delivery inspection and service schedule. The cautious approach is to treat the vehicle as unverified from a roadworthiness perspective until the first MOT certificate is obtained. The recorded mileage is listed as unknown, and there is insufficient mileage history to calculate an annual usage rate or to compare accumulated distance against the vehicle's age. This is significant, because commercial vehicles of this type are typically expected to cover between 10,000 and 25,000 miles per year in service, and any deviation from that range either way carries mechanical implications. If the vehicle has been used intensively, the buyer should anticipate wear to high-mileage items such as brake friction material, suspension bushes, driveshaft gaiters, and electric drive system components consistent with the recorded odometer reading. If the vehicle has been used very sparingly or has stood for extended periods, calendar-based degradation of rubber, fluids, and electrical systems becomes the greater concern regardless of the mileage figure shown. The buyer is strongly advised to verify the odometer reading independently, cross-reference it with the service book and any telematics or fleet management records, and satisfy themselves that the indicated distance is plausible for a vehicle of this registration year and intended commercial use. Given that the MOT history is clean by virtue of being absent, and that the vehicle is newly registered, the buyer should concentrate on physical and time-based inspections appropriate to a near-new commercial electric van that may have been in storage or low use prior to sale. Externally, the tyres should be examined for sidewall perishing, cracking, or flat-spotting from standing, as even unused tyres degrade chemically after roughly five to six years; the tread depth should be confirmed to be at least the legal minimum of 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tread, and the manufacturing date code on the sidewall should be checked for age. The 12-volt auxiliary battery, which powers ancillary systems on this electric vehicle, should be load-tested if possible, as batteries deteriorate from standing discharge cycles even when the mileage is low. Brake discs and calipers should be inspected for surface corrosion and binding, since prolonged standing will cause pitting corrosion on the friction surfaces and may lead to juddering or pulling on the first application of the brakes after a period of disuse. Finally, the buyer should verify that all time-based fluid services have been carried out in line with the manufacturer's schedule, including brake fluid replacement, coolant renewal for the thermal management system, reduction gearbox oil if specified, and any periodic checks on the high-voltage battery cooling system. The underside of the vehicle should be examined on a ramp for any signs of fluid leakage, corrosion to structural members, or damage to the high-voltage cable routing. On a test drive, particular attention should be paid to any unusual noises from the suspension over bumps, which would indicate worn bushes or dampers; to the smoothness and responsiveness of regenerative and friction braking; to the operation of the electric drive system, including any warning messages on the driver display; and to the correct functioning of all commercial-specific equipment such as load area fittings, rear doors, and securing points. A pre-purchase inspection by an independent garage experienced in electric commercial vehicles is strongly recommended to establish a mechanical baseline against which future MOT results can be measured.
