2020 Ford Transit Custom 320LMTD Eblue A 2.0L Diesel · YP70 WUT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in February 2026 at 96,789 miles resulted in a failure due to a non-functional stop lamp and an ineffective windscreen wiper. While the vehicle passed immediately after these repairs, the presence of a worn nearside front tyre and pitted rear brake disc suggests that components are only addressed once they reach the MOT failure threshold. The Transit has covered significant mileage for its age, averaging approximately 16,000 miles per year. There is a notable surge in usage between the December 2023 test at 43,084 miles and the February 2026 test at 96,789 miles, representing over 53,000 miles in just fourteen months. This high rate of accumulation suggests heavy commercial use, which typically accelerates the wear on heavy-duty suspension components, bushings, and drivetrain parts. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and alignment, as the nearside front tyre has been flagged as worn on the edge in both the 2025 and 2026 tests. This pattern often indicates underlying tracking issues or worn ball joints. The nearside rear brake disc should be inspected for further corrosion, as the pitting noted in February 2026 indicates the metal is beginning to degrade from surface rust. Given the high mileage, checking the integrity of the exhaust system and the condition of the clutch is essential to ensure the vehicle has not been overworked beyond its limits.
