2021 Ford Transit Custom 280LEADER Eblue 2.0L Heavy oil · HV71 YJB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by two consecutive clean MOT pass results. The most recent inspection conducted on 19 September 2025 at 66,891 miles returned no defects or advisories. This follows a successful test on 24 October 2024 at 54,089 miles, indicating that the vehicle has maintained a high standard of compliance without recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage data reflects a consistent commercial usage pattern, averaging approximately 13,378 miles per year over five years. Between the October 2024 and September 2025 tests, the vehicle covered 12,802 miles in under eleven months. This suggests regular operation typical of a Ford Transit Custom rather than long periods of inactivity. The lack of advisories in both tests despite this high mileage suggests the previous owners have proactively addressed maintenance requirements before they reached a failure threshold. Despite the lack of recorded faults in the database, a physical inspection should focus on components subject to high-mileage wear. A buyer must examine the front suspension geometry for wear on the control arm bushes and coil springs, as these often fatigue on vans reaching this mileage bracket. Given the consistent use, checking the brake discs for uneven wear and ensuring calipers are not binding is essential to confirm the braking system remains optimal. The chassis should also be inspected for early signs of corrosion, particularly around the rear mounting points, as the MOT tester only flags structural integrity once it reaches critical limits. While the clean history suggests a well-maintained asset, the high annual mileage necessitates a thorough check of the drivetrain components and tyre condition to ensure no hidden fatigue is present.
