2021 Ford Transit Custom 320 Sport Eblue 2.0L Diesel · FX21 LHT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift towards mechanical wear and tear. The most recent test on 14 January 2026 at 66,336 miles flagged an advisory for the offside rear brake pads wearing thin. While the vehicle passed the inspection, this suggests that consumable braking components are reaching the end of their service life and require immediate attention to prevent a future failure. The mileage accumulation has accelerated significantly over the last two years. Between the January 2024 test at 7,654 miles and the 2025 test at 39,509 miles, the vehicle covered 31,855 miles in a single year. This high usage continued with another 26,827 miles recorded before the January 2026 test. Averaging over 13,000 miles per year for a five-year-old van puts substantial strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and cooling systems compared to typical light use patterns. The record notes a minor oil leak during the January 2025 inspection at 39,509 miles. Although the tester noted this was not excessive at that time, the subsequent run of over 26,000 miles means this leak could have worsened or remained a persistent issue. A buyer must inspect the engine block and sump for fresh seepage and verify that the fluid levels remain consistent. Given the high mileage and the recent brake pad advisory, a thorough inspection of the suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and brake discs is essential to ensure the heavy-duty use has not caused structural or mechanical degradation.
