2021 Ford Transit Custom 300ACTIVE Eblue 2.0L Diesel · MJ21 ABU

The vehicle currently holds a clean MOT status following its most recent test on 14 April 2026 at 74,175 miles. This follows a period of instability in April 2025, where the vehicle initially failed due to worn front brake pads, deteriorated CV boots, and an illegible rear tyre. The transition from a failure in April 2025 to a clean pass in April 2026 indicates an improving maintenance trend, suggesting the previously identified mechanical defects were addressed. The mileage accumulation suggests intensive commercial use, averaging approximately 14,835 miles per year over its five-year lifespan. The jump from 53,057 miles in April 2024 to 69,114 miles in April 2025 shows a significant annual increase of over 16,000 miles, which then settled slightly to 5,061 miles in the final year before the April 2026 test. This high-mileage profile increases the likelihood of accelerated wear on drivetrain components and suspension elements. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front drive shafts and CV boots. While the April 2026 record shows no defects, the severe deterioration of both nearside and offside front outer CV boots in April 2025 suggests these components may have been subject to heavy stress or environmental damage. Checking for grease leakage around the joints is essential to ensure the repairs were comprehensive. The brake system and tyre condition also require scrutiny. The April 2025 failure highlighted thin front brake pads and a worn offside rear tyre, which implies a pattern of running consumables close to their legal limits. Given the high annual mileage, a buyer should inspect the remaining brake pad thickness, disc surface condition, and the tread depth across all tyres to ensure the vehicle has not returned to a pattern of deferred maintenance.
