2021 Ford Transit Custom 300LMTD Eblue A 2.0L Diesel · BT71 VLG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 88,355 miles passed, it flagged advisories for the nearside front tyre and front brake discs. These entries show that components are reaching the end of their functional life, suggesting the previous owner was only addressing issues as they approached failure rather than during scheduled service intervals. The mileage profile is high for a five-year-old van, averaging approximately 17,600 miles per year. Between the October 2024 test at 63,196 miles and the September 2025 test at 88,355 miles, the vehicle covered 25,159 miles in just eleven months. This rapid accumulation confirms heavy commercial use and likely frequent motorway mileage, which accelerates the wear on suspension bushes, drivetrain components, and braking hardware compared to lower mileage vehicles. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the front braking system, as the 2025 record noted pitted and scored discs on both sides. The previous report of a flat spot on the offside rear tyre in 2024 further suggests a history of uneven tyre management or prolonged standing. Given the high mileage, a physical check of the suspension geometry and the condition of the control arms bushings is essential, as these parts suffer significant stress under the loads typical of a Transit Custom covering such high distances.
