2021 Ford Transit Custom 340 Trail Eblue 2.0L Diesel · CU71 BKF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, following a clean pass on September 29, 2025, 70,945 miles. This recent result indicates an improving maintenance trend, as the defects identified in the previous year were successfully rectified. The absence of advisories in the most recent test suggests that the current owner is proactive in addressing safety-critical items before they escalate into mechanical failures. At 70,945 miles over five years, this Transit has averaged approximately 14,200 miles per annum. This high mileage is consistent with commercial use, which typically accelerates the wear on heavy-duty components and drivetrain components. Between the October 2024 and September 2025 tests, the vehicle covered 18,874 miles in just eleven months. This rapid accumulation of mileage suggests the vehicle is in frequent use, which places significant cyclic stress on the suspension bushes, coil springs, and braking system. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and rear assembly. The failure in October 2024 was due to a thin offside rear brake pad at 2mm, and while this was resolved, a check for uneven wear or binding calipers is necessary to ensure the replacement parts are functioning correctly. The inoperative nearside registration plate lamp was a minor electrical oversight, but it highlights the need to check auxiliary lighting. Given the high annual mileage, a thorough examination of the structural integrity for corrosion and the condition of the suspension mounts is vital to ensure the van has not suffered from excessive overloading or harsh road conditions.
