2019 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · YT19 AME

The 2019 Ford Transit Custom recorded a pass on 28 July 2026 at 93,211 miles, confirming roadworthiness at that point, but the preceding test on 28 July 2026 at 93,210 miles failed due to front and rear brake pads measuring less than 1.5 mm, indicating that brake wear has become critical and the maintenance trend is worsening. Mileage accumulation shows a steep upward trajectory: from 22,695 miles in July 2022 to 93,211 miles in July 2026, an increase of over 70,500 miles in four years, or roughly 17,600 miles per year, far exceeding the average annual mileage for a seven‑year‑old vehicle. The jump from 70,713 miles in May 2025 to 93,210 miles a little over two months later highlights rapid use and limited standing periods. A buyer should therefore prioritize a close examination of the braking system, including pad thickness, disc condition and caliper binding, and verify that the near‑side outer drive‑shaft constant‑velocity joint boot, noted as severely deteriorated in the May 2025 test, has been replaced or repaired. Inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers for wear or binding, as well as a thorough check for structural rust around the chassis and any previous bumper damage, is essential. Given the recurring brake wear and the high mileage rate, the vehicle demands immediate attention to brake components and a detailed assessment of the drivetrain and structural integrity before purchase, as these areas represent the most likely sources of future failure.
