2022 Ford Transit Custom 320LEADER Eblue 2.0L Diesel · WN22 KKF

A pattern of wear on consumables and minor lighting adjustments defines this vehicle's recent inspection history, though the most recent test on 07 April 2026 shows a return to a clean pass following a minor failure regarding an ineffective offside front windscreen wiper. While the immediate mechanical status appears stable, the 2025 MOT results highlighted a cluster of advisories concerning tyre tread depth and brake pad wear, suggesting that while the vehicle is roadworthy, it has recently required attention to its primary wear items to maintain compliance. The recorded mileage of 21,686 miles against a four-year age profile indicates a relatively low annual usage rate of approximately 5,422 miles. This level of accumulation is significantly lower than the typical commercial usage expected for a Ford Transit Custom, which can imply lighter duty cycles or extended periods of inactivity. Mechanically, this lower mileage generally means less cumulative stress on the drivetrain and suspension components, but it also necessitates closer inspection of rubber components and seals that can perish or harden when a vehicle is not driven regularly. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system and tyre condition during a physical inspection and test drive. The 2025 advisories specifically flagged thinning front brake pads and tyres wearing close to the legal limit or showing uneven edge wear. On a test drive, listen for any rhythmic clicking or thumping from the wheel arches and feel for any pulling to one side under braking, which could indicate uneven tyre wear or a binding caliper. Given the previous advisory regarding edge wear on the nearside and offside front tyres, it is essential to verify that the wheel alignment is correct and that the steering does not wander at motorway speeds. Further scrutiny should be applied to the lighting and visibility components. Although the headlamp aim issue from March 2025 and the wiper failure from April 2026 have been addressed, ensure the windscreen is free of chips and that the wiper blades provide a clean, streak-free sweep across the entire glass surface. Check the tyres for any further cuts or sidewall damage, particularly on the offside rear, to ensure the previous advisory regarding a cut in the rubber has been fully resolved with a replacement rather than a superficial repair.
