2021 Ford Transit Custom 320LMTD Eblue A 2.0L Diesel · HG71 CWF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in December 2025 at 136,591 miles. However, the recent maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. A failure just one day prior to that pass at 136,559 miles revealed two critical rear tyre defects, including exposed cords on the offside rear tyre. While these immediate issues were rectified to secure the certificate, the pattern suggests the owner only addressed essential consumables once a legal failure was imminent. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a five-year-old van, averaging over 27,000 miles per year. Between the December 2024 test and December 2025 test, the vehicle covered 39,331 miles in just twelve months. This rapid accumulation suggests heavy commercial use or constant long-distance motorway mileage, which places significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. The consistent high mileage confirms the vehicle has likely been used continuously rather than sitting for periods. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry and alignment, as recurring reports of uneven tyre wear in both 2024 and 2025 point to potential issues with worn bushes or mis tracking components. The 2024 advisory also flagged thin rear brake pads, and given the high mileage, the state of the brake discs and calipers should be checked for excessive thinning or sticking pistons. Given the heavy usage, inspecting the structural integrity of the chassis is vital to ensure that the high-duty cycle has not accelerated corrosion or metal fatigue.
