2021 Ford Transit Custom 300LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · BN70 YPX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward deferred consumable repairs. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 82,006 miles passed, it flagged multiple braking system issues, including thin pads on both axles and worn, pitted rear discs. This represents a departure from the clean record seen in the January 2024 test, suggesting that the vehicle is now entering a phase where mechanical wear is requiring urgent attention. The Transit has covered a significant distance, averaging approximately 16,400 miles per year over its five-year life. Between January 2024 at 47,444 miles and January 2025 at 65,260 miles, the vehicle clocked over 17,000 miles in a single year. This high-intensity usage, followed by another 16,746 miles before the 2026 test, indicates consistent commercial use which naturally accelerates the degradation of the drivetrain, suspension, and braking components. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the braking assembly, as the January 2026 advisories indicate that the components are nearing the end of their functional life. The buyer should verify if the rear discs and pads have been replaced since the last test and check for caliper binding. Additionally, the 2025 failure regarding cuts in both front tyres suggests a history of rough driving or poor environment, necessitating a thorough check of current sidewall integrity and overall tread depth. Given the high mileage, a detailed inspection of the suspension bushes and shock absorbers is also required to identify any hidden signs of premature wear that the MOT tester did not capture.
