2021 Ford Transit Custom 280LMTD Eblue A 2.0L Diesel · L23 FAM

The most recent MOT on 12 November 2025 passed at 44,305 miles, confirming the vehicle currently satisfies the statutory roadworthiness criteria. Earlier tests in October 2024 and November 2025 recorded multiple failures, yet the latest pass indicates an improving maintenance pattern, although several items flagged in previous failures have not been explicitly re‑tested. Recorded mileage of 44,305 miles for a 2021 model yields an average of roughly 8,800 miles per year, which sits comfortably within normal usage for a light commercial van. The increase from 29,019 miles on 9 October 2024 to 44,305 miles on 12 November 2025 reflects an addition of about 15,300 miles over 13 months, suggesting a period of higher utilisation but still within reasonable limits. A prospective buyer should confirm that front brake pads have been replaced, as they were reported worn to the wear indicator and under 1.5 mm in the November 2025 failure. The nearside rear handbrake lever was noted as restricted and parking‑brake efficiency fell below 50 %, so functional testing of the handbrake is essential. Both lower side mirrors were recorded as damaged, warranting visual inspection and likely replacement. The possible fuel leak cited in the November 2025 failure demands a thorough under‑body check for any signs of leakage. The off‑side windscreen wiper’s ineffective clearing should be verified, and the rear brake cable and service‑brake binding observed in the October 2024 failure merit a test of rear brake performance to ensure no lingering restriction.
