2019 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · YV68 UOB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass in its most recent inspection. The MOT test conducted on 18 August 2025 at 94,705 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum legal standards. While the history shows a failure in August 2024, the subsequent pass suggests the owner addressed the necessary repairs immediately to bring the Transit back to roadworthiness. The mileage profile reflects high-intensity usage for a seven-year-old van, averaging approximately 13,500 miles per annum. There is a significant surge in usage between the August 2023 test at 52,428 miles and the August 2024 test at 72,831 miles, representing an increase of 20,400 miles in just sixteen months. This rapid accumulation suggests heavy commercial application, which typically accelerates the wear on drivetrain and suspension components. The interval between tests has remained consistent over the last two years, indicating a regular maintenance schedule despite the high annual mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most affected by high-mileage transit work. Given the rapid mileage growth, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and ball joints is essential as these parts often fatigue prematurely under heavy loads. The braking system should be examined for thin discs or signs of binding calipers, as high-mileage cycles put significant stress on the thermal components. It is also prudent to verify the structural integrity of the chassis and floor pans for corrosion, as high-mileage commercial vehicles are frequently exposed to harsh road salts and environmental environments.
