2021 Ford Transit Custom 320LMTD Eblue A 2.0L Diesel · HT21 DXK

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in basic consumable upkeep. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 49,184 miles passed, the tester identified a nearside front tyre worn to the edge near the legal limit and a damaged windscreen. This marks a shift from the 2024 and 2025 inspections, where the vehicle passed with no recorded defects or advisories. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between March 2024 at 28,075 miles and March 2025 at 39,203 miles, the van covered 11,128 miles, followed by another 9,981 miles leading up to the March 2026 test. This regular usage suggests no long periods of standing, which generally helps prevent mechanical components from seizing. A buyer should prioritise the front suspension geometry during a physical inspection to determine the cause of the uneven wear on the nearside tyre. Edge wear often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes and ball joints. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the chassis for early-stage corrosion or rust is also prudent, although the MOT history has not yet flagged any structural concerns. The damaged windscreen should be monitored to ensure the crack does not propagate into the driver's primary field of view.
