2021 Ford Transit Custom 280LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · BN71 VAE

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status following a successful MOT on 14 May 2025 at 87,187 miles. This result indicates a stable maintenance trend since the previous failure recorded in August 2024. While the 2024 failure necessitated an immediate repair, the subsequent pass with no recorded advisories suggests that the owner was proactive in rectifying necessary faults to bring the van back to legal standards. At 87,187 miles over five years, this Ford Transit Custom has covered an average of approximately 17,400 miles per year. The data between the August 2024 test at 73,575 miles and the May 2025 test shows a rapid accumulation of mileage, with over 13,000 miles covered in nine months. This high usage pattern is consistent with commercial application, which typically places significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to lower-mileage private vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry and braking system, as the high mileage often accelerates the wear on these areas. Check for signs of play in the control arm bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, which are common points of failure on heavy Transit vans. Given the previous failure in 2024, verify the condition of the brake discs and calipers for any uneven wear or binding to ensure the repairs performed remain effective under heavy use.
