2021 Ford Transit Custom 340LTD Phev CVT 1.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · HF21 OGD

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with three consecutive MOT passes and a total absence of recorded defects or advisories. This stable trend, most recently confirmed during the test on 23 July 2026, indicates that the vehicle has met all DVSA requirements for safety and emissions without requiring remedial work at the time of testing. The recorded mileage of 8,457 miles over approximately five years represents an exceptionally low annual accumulation rate of roughly 1,691 miles. Mechanically, such a low usage profile means that while there is minimal wear on the engine and drivetrain components, the vehicle has likely experienced long periods of standing or very short duty cycles. This usage pattern can lead to different wear characteristics than those found in high-mileage vehicles, particularly regarding the lubrication of moving parts and the condition of rubber components. As there are no recorded defects or advisories in the MOT history, there are no specific suspension linkages, brake pipes, or structural corrosion issues to target for inspection. Guidance for a prospective buyer should instead focus on the functional operation of the PHEV system and the CVT transmission. During a test drive, monitor for any erratic power delivery or hesitation during the transition between electric and internal combustion modes, and ensure the steering remains fluid without any notches or resistance when turning lock-to-lock. Further attention should be paid to the braking system to ensure there is no binding or excessive pedal effort, which can occur in vehicles with very low annual mileage. Listen for any abnormal knocks or clunks over uneven surfaces and check for any vibration through the chassis at speed that could indicate tyre deformation from prolonged inactivity. Verify that the hybrid charging system and the CVT gearbox operate smoothly without any unusual whining or shuddering under load.
