2020 Ford Transit Custom 300LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · YM70 OLK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on June 3, 2026, 110,800 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the latest inspection introduced a new advisory for an oil leak under defect 8.4.1 (a) (i). While this was deemed not excessive enough for a failure, it marks the beginning of a mechanical concern that requires monitoring to prevent future degradation or environmental impact. The mileage profile indicates a significant increase in usage over the last two years. Between January 3, 2024 at 72,717 miles and June 3, 2026 at 110,800 miles, the vehicle covered 38,083 miles in just over two years. This rate of approximately 19,000 miles per year far exceeds the typical average for a commercial vehicle of this age. Such high annual mileage suggests heavy commercial use or long-distance motorway running, which accelerates the wear on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems compared to lower mileage. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the source of the oil leak identified in the June 2026 test. Given the high mileage, focus should also be placed on the integrity of the suspension components, specifically checking bushes and shock absorbers which often suffer premature fatigue under heavy loads. The lack of defects in the 2024 and 2025 tests suggests the vehicle was generally well-maintained, but the recent jump in mileage necessitates a close look at brake discs and tyre condition to ensure they are not nearing the end of their functional life.
