2021 Ford Transit Custom 320SPRT Eblue A 2.0L Diesel · FX21 LMF

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 23 October 2025 at 56,812 miles. The maintenance trend appears somewhat reactive rather than preventative. While the most recent test cleared the vehicle of major failures, the record shows a pattern of addressing consumable wear and minor electrical faults only when they reach the threshold of an MOT failure. The transition from a failure on 17 October 2025 to a pass six days later indicates that the immediate mechanical issues, specifically the front brake pads and a fuel system leak, were rectified to meet minimum standards. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical commercial usage pattern for a five-year-old van. The vehicle covered 14,235 miles between March 2024 and March 2025, and a further 5,997 miles between March 2025 and October 2025. This averages roughly 11,000 to 14,000 miles per year, which aligns with the provided context of 11,362 miles per year. There are no significant gaps in the testing frequency that would suggest long periods of inactivity or neglect, though the recent cluster of tests in October 2025 suggests a period of intensive scrutiny. A prospective buyer should focus on the braking system and fuel integrity during a physical inspection. The tester flagged worn front and rear brake discs in both the October 2025 failure and the subsequent pass. Although the discs were noted as not being excessively worn, the previous failure for front brake pads being below 1.5mm suggests the braking components are approaching the end of their service life. The fuel system component leak identified during the 17 October 2025 failure warrants a close visual check for any residual staining or signs of weeping around fuel lines and connections to ensure the repair was comprehensive. Tire condition and minor electrical components also require attention. The offside rear tire was flagged for cracking or perishing in October 2025, which often indicates age-related degradation rather than just tread wear. Given the history of failed headlamps and fog lamps in previous tests, checking the integrity of the lighting loom and bulb housings is advisable. The vehicle shows no signs of structural corrosion or suspension issues in the recorded data, but the recurring nature of the brake and tire advisories suggests that routine consumable replacement has been deferred until the MOT inspection.
