2022 Ford Transit Custom 320LMTD Eblue A 2.0L Diesel · WM72 DFV

The most recent MOT, carried out on 24 November 2025, was passed with no recorded defects or advisories. With only a single MOT entry available, the maintenance trend can be regarded as stable; the absence of failures suggests that the essential safety and emissions systems were in satisfactory condition at the time of testing and that the vehicle has been kept to a level that meets statutory requirements. At 16,277 miles after just under four years of age, the van averages roughly 4,000 miles per year, which is considerably below the typical 10‑12,000 miles expected for a light‑commercial vehicle. This low annual usage points to either light duty work or extended periods of storage. While reduced wear on consumables such as brake pads, clutch discs and tyres is advantageous, prolonged standing can encourage corrosion of brake components, deterioration of rubber seals and battery sulphation—issues that may not be evident in MOT results alone. Prospective buyers should give particular attention to tyre condition, inspecting sidewalls for cracking, dry‑rot or hardening, as age‑related perishing can occur even with modest tread wear. A thorough check of the suspension and steering bushings, ball joints and wheel bearings for any play, creaking or clunking, especially after a cold start, will reveal early corrosion or loss of lubrication. The 12‑volt battery should be tested for cranking voltage and examined for electrolyte leakage or terminal corrosion, as intermittent use can lead to sulphation and reduced capacity. Confirm that the service book shows regular oil and filter changes and that any timing belt or chain stipulated by the eBlue powertrain schedule has been replaced. Inspect brake discs and pads for surface rust, glazing or uneven wear; a pulsating pedal or squeal on deceleration would indicate the need for resurfacing or replacement. Finally, verify that coolant, brake fluid and transmission fluid have been flushed within the manufacturer’s calendar intervals, since fluids can degrade over time regardless of mileage, potentially affecting cooling efficiency and braking performance.
