2021 Ford Transit Custom 300LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · JU57 ABC

The September 2025 MOT at 31,182 miles confirmed roadworthiness, yet the tester flagged a severely deteriorated near‑side front outer drive shaft constant velocity boot, indicating a worsening mechanical condition since the September 2024 test, which recorded no defects. The vehicle is roughly five years old with 31,182 miles, averaging 6,236 miles per year, a figure consistent with typical usage for its age. The 12‑month interval between the 2024 and 2025 tests corresponds to an increase of 6,102 miles, showing steady annual mileage accumulation without anomalous gaps. A buyer should inspect the drive shaft constant velocity joint and surrounding suspension components for wear, play or damage, verify that rear brake calipers are free of binding, examine brake discs for corrosion or scoring, and assess suspension bushes, coil springs and the chassis for structural rust or corrosion that could compromise integrity. The recent CV joint defect represents a material fault that must be remedied before purchase; a thorough in‑person examination of the drivetrain, suspension, braking system and structural elements is essential to confirm the issue has been corrected and that no other latent problems exist.
