2021 Ford Transit Custom 340 Trail Eblue 2.0L Diesel · CL21 BTU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, following a clean MOT pass on August 5 2025 at 124,556 miles. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to the previous year, where multiple defects were identified. The lack of recorded advisories in the most recent test suggests that the owner addressed the mechanical wear issues flagged during the prior inspection. The mileage profile indicates a very high usage rate, averaging approximately 25,000 miles per year. Between the August 2024 test at 99,268 miles and the August 2025 test, the vehicle covered 25,288 miles in just twelve months. This rapid accumulation is consistent with heavy commercial use, which typically accelerates the degradation of heavy-duty components, suspension bushings, and drivetrain parts compared to lower-mileage fleet vehicles. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension to ensure the issues resolved. The 2024 test flagged thin rear brake pads and a nearside rear tyre worn to the limit, indicating that consumable maintenance was previously reactive rather than proactive. Given the high mileage, the inspector should check for play in the control arms, worn shock absorbers, and signs of structural corrosion on the chassis, as these are common points of failure on Transit models subjected to such high annual cycles.
