2023 Ford Transit Custom 320LMTD Eblue A 2.0L Diesel · WR73 HCH

A spotless MOT record to date indicates the 2023 Ford Transit Custom 320LMTD E‑Blue has not been flagged for any safety or emissions defects, and the most recent pass on 8 September 2026 confirms it met the statutory requirements at the latest test. With no advisories or failures logged, the vehicle’s documented roadworthiness trajectory appears stable rather than deteriorating. At 23 023 miles the van averages roughly 7 600‑7 700 miles per year, a mileage band that is typical for a three‑year‑old light commercial vehicle. The modest annual accumulation suggests the drivetrain, suspension and brake wear items are likely still within their normal service windows, and there is no evidence of a sudden mileage surge that would accelerate component fatigue. The MOT history shows only the most recent test, so while the current pass is reassuring, the absence of earlier records means the buyer cannot verify whether any past defects were ever present or resolved. When conducting a pre‑purchase inspection, pay particular attention to the front and rear suspension bushings, ball joints and coil springs for any creaks or knocks over bumps, which would indicate early wear despite the clean MOT. Examine the brake discs and pads for uneven wear patterns or scoring, and test the pedal for consistent feel and any judder under moderate braking; these are the components most likely to begin showing wear at this mileage. Verify tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, and listen for any wind‑noise that could hint at wheel bearing deterioration. Finally, confirm that the service interval for the E‑Blue powertrain—typically every 10 000 miles or 12 months—has been observed, and request evidence of the last oil change and filter replacement. An emissions system check during a short idle and a brief acceleration run will reveal whether the catalytic converter and exhaust sensors are functioning within limits, ensuring the van remains compliant for the next MOT cycle.
