2019 Ford Transit Custom 300LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · YM69 OOE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on 1 April 2026 at 65,624 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a reactive approach rather than proactive care. The failure just one month prior on 31 March 2026 at 65,621 miles revealed critical neglect regarding the braking system and a structurally compromised rear tyre. While these issues were rectified, the record suggests the previous owner only addressed essential mechanical components when they reached an immediate test failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old van, averaging approximately 9,375 miles per year. There is a significant gap in testing records between January 2023 at 36,632 miles and October 2024 at 57,970 miles, during which the vehicle covered over 21,000 miles in twenty-one months. This period of heavy use explains the rapid wear seen on the brake pads in the 2026 test, as the components had reached the minimum legal limit simultaneously between test intervals. A buyer must specifically inspect the braking system in person to ensure the discs were not scored or thinned beyond service limits during the recent pad replacement. The previous failure of the nearside rear tyre due to a structural separation warrants a thorough check of the remaining tyres for bulges or uneven wear. Given the mileage and age of the Transit Custom, a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and chassis for signs of surface corrosion is also necessary, as the MOT record does not capture early-stage structural degradation until it becomes a failure point.
