2021 Ford Transit Custom 300ACTIVE Eblue 2.0L Diesel · CX21 XGC

The Ford Transit Custom presents a currently roadworthy status following the March 2026 test cycle, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across its recorded history. The tester passed the van on 23 March 2026 at 106,573 miles with no defects logged, though the same-day failure on that date is anomalous as no defects were recorded against it; this suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in March 2025 at 87,385 miles and March 2024 at 69,589 miles also returned passes with clean sheets. The mileage pattern shows consistent annual accumulation well above typical light-commercial averages for a five-year-old vehicle. From 69,589 miles in March 2024 to 87,385 miles in March 2025 the van covered 17,796 miles, then 19,188 miles to the March 2026 reading of 106,573. That equates to roughly 21,300 miles per year, indicating sustained motorway or delivery-cycle use rather than short urban spells. No gaps exist between annual tests and the record carries no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable items given the high annual mileage. The absence of advisories across four tests implies previous operators addressed wear before each examination, yet brake discs, coil springs, and steering joints on a 106,000-mile Transit endure heavier fatigue than lower-mileage peers. Check for early structural rust on chassis rails and sills, and verify the dual-clutch transmission fluid history if serviced outside franchise networks. The same-day fail-pass in March 2026 warrants a DVSA certificate check to confirm no suppressed defect. Otherwise the van's MOT trail shows disciplined upkeep with no recurring mechanical faults, suspension wear, or emissions breaches to date.
