2019 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · YN19 OGD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, showing a maintenance trend that has improved from a period of reactive neglect. The most recent test in March 2026 at 83,284 miles recorded only a minor defect regarding an inoperative registration plate lamp. This follows a clean result in March 2025 when the vehicle had 68,260 miles, suggesting that the previous owner has addressed the mechanical and consumable issues identified in earlier inspections. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year. Between March 2023 and March 2026, the vehicle covered 42,115 miles, indicating steady annual use. However, the data from the 2023 test at 41,169 miles reveals a lapse in proactive maintenance, as the vehicle failed its MOT due to multiple safety-critical items. This pattern suggests that service intervals were likely dictated only by test failure rather than on a scheduled interval. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front-end suspension and wheel-related components. The March 2023 failure highlighted thin brake pads and a missing wheel nut, while the 2023 and 2024 tests noted recurring tyre damage and uneven edge wear. These symptoms often indicate poor wheel alignment or impact damage, which can prematurely wear suspension bushes and ball joints. Check for uneven tyre wear and verify that the current tyres are free of the sidewall cuts or structural damage noted in previous records.
