2022 Ford Transit Custom 300LEADER Eblue 2.0L Diesel · WM72 CDK

The most recent MOT test conducted on 11 November 2025 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the vehicle was in a roadworthy condition meeting all DVSA standards at the time of testing. Based on this recent record, the maintenance trend appears stable, suggesting that the vehicle has been sufficiently maintained to avoid common failure points such as lighting issues, brake inefficiencies, or exhaust emissions failures. With a recorded mileage of 34,412 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has covered an average of roughly 8,600 miles per year. This level of usage is considered moderate for a commercial van and is well within the typical parameters for its age. This suggests that the drivetrain, suspension, and braking components have not been subjected to the extreme wear often seen in high-mileage fleet vehicles. However, you should verify that the service history aligns with this mileage to ensure the vehicle has not been used exclusively for very short, infrequent trips that could lead to carbon buildup or other engine-related issues. As the MOT history is clean and the mileage is relatively low, your physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation and the effects of potential standing time. Closely inspect the tyres for any signs of perishing, such as sidewall cracking or hardening of the rubber, which can occur even if tread depth remains high. Check for uneven tyre wear, which could indicate worn suspension bushes or incorrect wheel alignment. During the test drive, listen for any clunks from the suspension or squealing from the brakes, which might suggest binding calipers or worn shock absorbers. You should also verify the condition of the 12V battery and check that all fluid levels, including brake fluid and coolant, are correct and have been changed according to the manufacturer's time-based intervals rather than just mileage. It is essential to cross-reference the service book to confirm that scheduled maintenance has been carried out, as fluids can degrade over time regardless of distance travelled. Finally, inspect the underside for any signs of corrosion or weeping from seals and gaskets to ensure the vehicle's long-term structural and mechanical integrity.
