2019 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · YR69 WDE

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean MOT pass in October 2025 at 127,950 miles. While the most recent result is positive, the failure just three days prior to that test indicates a lapse in preventative maintenance. The tester previously identified a fractured offside front coil spring and a non-functional nearside rear stop lamp, which were rectified immediately to secure the pass. This suggests the owner reacts quickly to MOT failures rather than performing proactive mechanical inspections. The mileage profile reflects heavy commercial usage for a seven-year-old van, averaging over 18,000 miles per annum. Between October 2022 and October 2024, the vehicle covered 48,656 miles, showing a consistent and high-intensity usage pattern. The accumulation of nearly 40,000 miles in the final year of the record confirms the vehicle has been in constant, long-distance operation. This high level of mileage places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system compared to lower-mileage fleet vehicles. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension for signs of further wear on coil springs, wish arms, and bushings, as the fractured spring in 2025 indicates component fatigue. Given the high mileage, the thickness of the brake discs and the condition of the calipers should be assessed for uneven wear or thinning. The underside should also be examined for structural corrosion on the chassis, as high-mileage Transit vans are often exposed to road salt that accelerates metal degradation over time.
