2017 Ford Transit Custom 290 Limited 2.0L Diesel · XP54 HOG

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, showing a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent test conducted on June 5, 2025 at 104,960 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the previous owners have maintained the van to a standard that meets all DVSA safety and emissions requirements. This clean record is consistent across the last four testing intervals. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical commercial usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,600 miles per annum. Between February 2020 at 39,856 miles and November 2022 at 77,828 miles, the vehicle covered nearly 38,000 miles, suggesting heavy but consistent use. The recent jump of 11,261 miles between April 2024 and June 2025 follows this established pattern. The regularity of these intervals suggests the vehicle remains in regular use rather than sitting for long periods, which helps prevent seal degradation and internal corrosion. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components common to the Transit Custom at the 100,000-mile mark. Specifically, examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for tearing or fatigue, as these often show signs of wear before failing an MOT test. Check the brake discs and calipers for uneven thinning or binding issues, as the MOT only checks for functionality rather than component condition. Given the age and mileage, a close look at the chassis for structural integrity and surface corrosion is also necessary to ensure no hidden rust has developed since the last inspection.
