2022 Ford Transit Custom 300LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · WM71 GXG

The 2022 Ford Transit Custom 300 Limited EBlue has a recent MOT history showing mixed outcomes, with a critical failure in February 2026. The most recent entry on 2026-02-12 recorded a failure due to severely reduced offside headlamp light intensity (4.1.4 (a)), incorrect nearside headlamp aim (4.1.2 (c)), and offside rear service brake binding (1.2.1 (f)). A separate pass entry on the same date noted the same brake binding issue but described it as “not excessively.” This inconsistency suggests potential uncertainty in the assessment of the brake condition, though the headlamp faults are clearly serious safety risks. Recurring mechanical issues include brake binding and tyre wear . The 2025-01-29 MOT recorded nearside and offside front tyres worn close to legal limits (5.2.3 (e)) and a broken pad wire on the nearside front. These indicate ongoing maintenance needs, particularly for braking components and tyre condition. While the 2026 MOT did not repeat the tyre issues, the brake binding persisted, raising concerns about potential wear or misalignment in the rear braking system. The vehicle’s mileage of 71,973 miles over four years (17,993 miles annually) is high for its age, suggesting frequent use or heavy-duty operation. This mileage level increases the likelihood of accelerated wear on consumables like brakes, tyres, and suspension components. However, the absence of major faults in earlier MOTs (e.g., 2025-01-29) implies the condition may have remained stable until recently.
