2022 Ford Transit Custom 300 Trend Eblue 2.0L Diesel · YY71 FAJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent MOT history indicates a decline in proactive maintenance. While the Transit passed its test on 15 May 2026 at 52,875 miles, it had failed just three days prior at 52,805 miles. The failure due to thin front brake pads and ineffective windscreen wipers suggests that the previous owner only addressed faults once a formal test failed rather than performing scheduled servicing. The mileage accumulation is significant for a four-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging over 13,000 miles per year. Between May 2024 and May 2025, the vehicle covered 15,074 miles, and the rate increased to 16,272 miles in the following year leading up to the May 2026 test. This consistent high-usage pattern suggests the van was used for long-distance commercial work, which accelerates wear on heavy mechanical components such as the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry, as the May 2026 advisory flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as worn on the inner and outer edges. This pattern often indicates misalignment or worn control arm bushes, which will lead to premature tyre replacement if not corrected. The recent failure of brake pads at under 1.5mm warrants a thorough check of the front discs for scoring or glazing to ensure the friction surface has not been damaged by running the pads down to their limit.
