AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on 18 February 2026 at 31,698 miles. The maintenance record shows a stable trend, with the most recent inspection identifying no defects. While the vehicle failed an initial test on 7 November 2024, it passed four days later on 11 November 2024 without any recorded advisories, indicating that the failure was likely rectified promptly. At five years old and showing 31,698 miles, the vehicle averages approximately 6,340 miles per year. This accumulation is consistent with light to moderate usage patterns for a commercial chassis. The MOT history is limited to these three recent entries, providing a narrow window into the vehicle's structural and mechanical history. The absence of long-term data means that potential issues common to high-mileage Transits, such as suspension bush fatigue or drivetrain wear, have not yet been documented in the test results. Prospective buyers should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension components, specifically checking for play in the track rod ends and lower wishbone bushes. Despite the clean recent test, the undercarriage should be examined for surface corrosion on the chassis rails and fuel tank straps, as these areas are prone to oxidation in this model. Verify the condition of the brake discs and pads, as the MOT test only assesses performance and not the remaining service life of these consumables. Given the lack of historical data prior to 2024, a thorough check of the engine bay for fluid leaks and an assessment of the exhaust system for signs of repair or heavy soot accumulation remains necessary. Buying Score: 75. Risk Level: Low.

Our Verdict

This 2021 Ford Transit Custom 300 Leader EcoBlue presents in generally solid order with a clean recent MOT history. With a modest 31,698 miles recorded by February 2026, it offers a sensible purchase for prospective van buyers.

When inspecting this Transit Custom, examine the cabin and cargo area for signs of heavy commercial wear, as utility vehicles often endure intensive use regardless of mileage. Check the documentation thoroughly to understand why the van was recorded as failing and passing on the exact same day in November 2024 at 29,696 miles, even though no specific defects were logged.

Verify all standard equipment functions correctly, including the heating, infotainment, and security locks. Ensure that any conversion or racking in the rear has been professionally fitted and does not compromise the structural integrity of the load bay. Negotiate based on the physical condition of the bodywork and any missing service records.

As a 2.0-litre EcoBlue diesel commercial vehicle, running costs will depend heavily on your annual mileage and payload weights. Fuel economy for this variant generally sits in the mid-30s to low-40s mpg under mixed driving conditions. Road tax for commercial vehicles falls under the standard flat-rate LCV (Light Commercial Vehicle) classification in the UK.

Insurance sits within commercial vehicle groups, which can vary widely depending on your trade and no-claims bonus. Maintenance costs should remain manageable due to the vehicle's relatively low mileage, though routine servicing for commercial Fords is essential to maintain longevity.

Pay close attention to the suspension, braking system, and steering components, as these take significant strain on commercial vans. Review the November 2024 test logs carefully; although no defects were recorded on the certificate during the fail-and-pass sequence on 2024-11-07 and 2024-11-11, check the physical vehicle for any signs of recent remedial work.

Inspect the 1995cc diesel engine bay for any fluid leaks, unusual noises, or warning lights on the dashboard. Examine the white exterior paintwork for stone chips, car park dings, and rust around the wheel arches and sills, which are common areas for wear on working vehicles.

First registered in October 2021, this white Ford Transit Custom features a 1995cc diesel engine and has covered 31,698 miles as of its February 2026 MOT. The vehicle's MOT record shows two recent passes without defects, following a curious same-day failure and pass sequence in November 2024. Overall, the recorded mileage is low for a 2021 commercial vehicle, making it an interesting prospect.

No specific aggregate reliability data is available for this exact Transit Custom variant, though the model remains a staple of the UK commercial market.
