2020 Ford Transit Courier 1.5L Diesel · YB69 NHC

The 2020 Ford Transit Courier presents a clean and stable maintenance trend, with no defects recorded across four consecutive MOT tests. The most recent test on 16 September 2025 at 96,100 miles passed with zero advisories or failures, indicating the vehicle met all DVSA roadworthiness standards at that point. This unbroken record of clean passes suggests consistent basic upkeep, though the absence of defects alone does not guarantee the absence of wear. The mileage accumulation is notably high for a six-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging roughly 16,000 miles per year. The record shows steady progression: 56,922 miles in September 2022, 73,475 miles by September 2023, 84,810 miles in August 2024, and 96,100 miles in September 2025. The jump of approximately 11,300 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests is slightly higher than the prior annual increments of around 11,500 and 11,400 miles, suggesting sustained heavy use rather than a sudden spike. No gaps or anomalies appear in the testing pattern, with annual tests consistently falling in late summer. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should inspect the front suspension lower arms and bushes for play, as high-mileage Transits commonly develop wear in these components between tests. The rear brake setup, including calipers and discs, warrants a close check for binding or uneven wear, particularly given the vehicle's commercial duty cycle. Tyre condition and tread depth across all four corners should be verified, as high annual mileage accelerates consumable wear that may not yet trigger an advisory. A thorough underbody inspection is advisable to assess structural integrity, focusing on the chassis rails, sills, and suspension mounting points for corrosion or cracking. The exhaust system should be examined for leaks or deterioration, and the steering rack and track rod ends should be checked for excess free play. While the MOT history is reassuring, these components endure accelerated stress at this mileage and may require attention before the next test cycle.
