2021 Ford Transit Custom 280LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · HG70 KBE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in January 2026 at 92,577 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to the previous year, as the mechanical issues identified in 2025 have have been addressed. The transition from multiple advisories to a clean sheet suggests that the current owner is willing to perform necessary repairs rather than allowing faults to escalate. The mileage profile indicates heavy usage for a five-year-old van, averaging approximately 18,500 miles per year. Between the January 2024 and January 2025 tests, the vehicle covered 11,654 miles, showing consistent annual operation. This high accumulation is typical for commercial use, which naturally puts significant strain on wear-related components and the drivetrain. The 12,087 miles driven since the last test in January 2026 confirm the vehicle remains in active daily use. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front drivetrain and braking system to verify previous repairs. The 2025 test flagged severely deteriorated front CV boots and pitted front brake discs, which were likely replaced, but the tester should still check for grease leakage or signs of premature CV joint wear. Given the 2024 report of a front oil leak, a visual inspection of the engine block and sump area is necessary to ensure the leak has not worsened or remained active. The history of fluctuating rear service brakes and worn discs in early 2024 suggests the braking system has been subjected to heavy loads. While the 2026 test was clean, the high mileage justifies a thorough check of the suspension bushes and bushings for signs of play. Focus on the chassis for any signs of corrosion, as high-mileage commercial environments often accelerate structural degradation over time.
