2021 Ford Transit Custom 280LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · DA71 AGE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. In the November 2025 test at 79,508 miles, the Transit passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a clean result from the November 2024 test at 52,158 miles, indicating that the vehicle has maintained a consistent standard of mechanical and structural compliance without failure. The mileage data reflects a high usage pattern for a five-year-old van, covering 27,350 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This annual accumulation of approximately 16,000 miles is consistent with heavy commercial use, which typically places significant strain on drivetrain components. The lack of any advisories despite this high mileage suggests the previous owners have been proactive with maintenance rather than allowing minor wear and tear to be flagged during annual inspections. While the MOT history shows no recorded faults, an in-person inspection should focus on components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. A buyer must examine the suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and coil springs for signs of premature fatigue or cracking. Given the mileage, the braking system needs to be checked for binding calipers or thin discs, as the MOT only identifies these issues once they reach a safety-critical threshold. Structural integrity should also be verified for surface corrosion, particularly around the sills and mounting points, where heavy-duty vans often show signs of degradation that a standard MOT test might overlook.
