2019 Ford Transit Custom 300LEADER Eblue 2.0L Diesel · WN69 YSB

The Ford Transit Custom demonstrates a consistent roadworthiness record with no defects or advisories across the most recent four MOT tests, all passing without fail. The December 2025 test—just eight months ago—confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current UK standards, though it is now approaching the next mandatory inspection in December 2026. The absence of recurring failures suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though this does not preclude hidden wear or deferred repairs. Buyers should note that the latest test was conducted at 84,094 miles, meaning the vehicle has accumulated nearly 6,000 miles since then, a rate that could accelerate wear on high-mileage components. The recorded mileage of 84,094 over seven years reflects an unusually high annual average of approximately 12,000 miles, which is well above the typical usage for a commercial van of this age. There are no significant gaps in the MOT history, but the steady accumulation of miles—particularly the jump from 78,000 miles in December 2024 to 84,094 by August 2026—implies sustained heavy usage. While this could indicate reliable operation, it also raises expectations for wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake calipers, and drivetrain components. The lack of advisories in prior tests does not negate the need for a thorough inspection of these high-wear areas. Given the mileage and usage pattern, an in-person inspection should prioritise the structural integrity of the chassis and sills for corrosion, especially around wheel arches and the rear axle. The suspension—particularly the rear bushes and shock absorbers—should be checked for excessive play or fluid leaks, as these are common failure points at this mileage. Brake discs and pads should be examined for uneven wear or binding calipers, which could indicate past neglect. Additionally, the exhaust system should be inspected for rust or leaks, particularly at the rear tailpipe, where heavy use may have accelerated deterioration. Tyre condition, including tread depth and lateral wear, should also be verified, as the absence of MOT failures in this area does not guarantee they have been consistently replaced.
