2019 Ford Transit Custom 320LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · YM69 OPB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a trend of deferred attention regarding minor wear items. The most recent test in September 2025 at 40,909 miles identified worn rear suspension bump stops and perishing/damage on the nearside rear tyre. This follows a pattern of tyre-related advisories across 2024 and early 2025, indicating that the previous owner only addressed consumables once they approached legal limits or showed visible deterioration. The mileage profile is low for a seven-year-old commercial vehicle. With 40,909 miles recorded over its life, the van averages approximately 5,800 miles per year, which is significantly below the typical usage for a Ford Transit Custom. There is a notable increase in activity between December 2023 (30,153 miles) and April 2025 (40,858 miles), where over 10,000 miles were covered. Such low mileage often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber-based components, which aligns with the reported cracking in tyres and worn bump stops. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and rubber components. The recurring issues with perishing tyres and worn bump stops suggest the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, causing materials to dry out and crack. Check the front brake system specifically, as the record flagged thin pads in late 2023 at 30,153 miles, and ensure these have since been replaced. Additionally, inspect the chassis and underbody for signs of corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles can sometimes hide surface rust if not driven regularly to clear out moisture.
