2021 Ford Transit Custom 280LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · HT21 SRO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 12 June 2026 at 79,597 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable following a minor electrical failure in May 2024. While the record consistently notes advisories for deteriorated registration plates, the absence of mechanical or structural advisories across the last three successful tests suggests that the core components of the vehicle have remained within acceptable tolerances during the recent testing intervals. The mileage profile indicates heavy usage for a five-year-old van, averaging approximately 16,000 miles per annum. A significant period of activity occurred between the May 2024 test at 53,406 miles and the May 2025 test at 78,109 miles, where the vehicle covered over 25,000 miles in just thirteen months. This high rate of accumulation suggests consistent commercial use or frequent long-distance motorway driving, which typically places accelerated stress on wear items such as suspension bushings, brake components, and drivetrain assemblies. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and steering geometry, as high-mileage Transit vans often show premature wear of coil springs and arm bushes. Although the MOT record does not flag brake issues, a thorough check for binding calipers or thin brake discs is necessary given the high mileage accumulation. The recurring deterioration of the registration plates noted across multiple years should be addressed immediately to ensure legal compliance, as this has been a persistent fault since at least 2024.
