2021 Ford Transit Custom 320LMTD Eblue A 2.0L Diesel · VRC 850

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. The most recent MOT test on 21 May 2025 at 151,341 miles resulted in a failure due to electrical faults involving the offside stop lamp, nearside dipped beam, and registration plate lamp. While these were rectified to secure a pass on the same day, the failure suggests that basic lighting checks were neglected prior to the testing appointment. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a five-year-old vehicle, totaling 151,341 miles which averages to over 30,000 miles per annum. Between the January 2024 test at 127,953 miles and the May 2025 test, the vehicle covered 23,388 miles in just 16 months. This rapid accumulation is consistent with heavy long-distance commercial use, which significantly accelerates the wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems compared to average usage. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and steering geometry. The January 2024 record flagged both front tyres as being close to the legal limit with uneven wear on the edges, which often points to misalignment issues or worn ball joints and wishbones. Given the high mileage, the brake discs should be inspected for significant thinning or glazing, and the exhaust system should be checked for signs of excessive corrosion or fatigue common in high-duty commercial cycles.
