FORD TRANSIT CUSTOM 300LIMITD EBLUE2021 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a persistent pattern of deferred consumable component replacement. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 40,768 miles passed without failure, the tester noted the nearside rear tyre going out of shape. This mirrors advisories from the previous two years, suggesting that the owner tends to wait until components reach the limit of their service rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 40,768 miles over five years, the Ford Transit has averaged approximately 8,150 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a commercial vehicle. The mileage accumulation is consistent across the records, with roughly 7,000 miles driven between March 2024 and 2025, and another 7,800 miles before the latest test. This steady progression indicates the vehicle has been subjected to regular road use, which helps prevent internal corrosion and seal degradation often associated with long periods of standing. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension assembly. The history flags thinning front brake pads in 2024, followed by thin rear pads and pitted, scored discs in 2025. Given the recurring nature of these faults, the current state of the rotors and calipers needs immediate verification to ensure there is no binding or uneven wear. The repeated mention of tyres going out of shape across three years also indicates potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be checked to prevent premature tyre failure.
