2021 Ford Transit Custom 300LEADER Eblue 2.0L Diesel · HN71 SVV

A spotless MOT record across three consecutive years, culminating in a pass on 12 March 2026, indicates that no roadworthiness defects have been recorded by the DVSA for this 2021 Ford Transit Custom 300Leader eBlue. The absence of advisories or failures in the 2024, 2025 and 2026 tests suggests that, at the times of inspection, the vehicle met the statutory safety and emissions standards without issue. With 35,114 mi logged since its first registration in 2021, the average annual accumulation is roughly 7,000 mi, which sits comfortably within the typical usage envelope for a light commercial van of this age. The MOT dates are spaced at roughly twelve‑month intervals, showing no prolonged gaps that might conceal untested deterioration. This mileage level points to moderate wear on consumables such as brake pads, tyre tread and clutch components, but does not, on its own, flag excessive stress on major drivetrain or suspension elements. Even though the MOT history records no defects, a prudent pre‑purchase inspection should still verify the condition of wear items that are not always caught by a standard test. Examine the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, scoring or glazing, and listen for any squeal or judder when applying the brakes. Check the tyre sidewalls and tread depth for cracking, bulges or uneven wear patterns that could indicate mis‑alignment or suspension issues. Inspect the suspension bushings, ball joints and shock absorbers for play, knocking noises over bumps, or leaking fluid, as these components can develop wear between annual tests. A short road‑test should include steady‑state cruising and gentle acceleration to feel for any vibration in the steering column, which could hint at worn tie‑rod ends or subframe corrosion not captured by the MOT. Pay attention to any pulling to one side, which may reveal alignment drift, and listen for rattles from the engine bay that could betray loose mounts or exhaust leaks. Confirm that all lights, indicators and the horn operate correctly, and verify that the emission control system shows no warning lights, ensuring the vehicle remains compliant beyond the recorded MOT passes.
