2021 Ford Transit Custom 300LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · LB21 VZU

The vehicle holds a valid MOT certificate until May 2027, following a pass on 11 May 2026 at 149,793 miles. While the most recent test was successful, the history reveals a recurring trend of neglect regarding basic consumables and preventative maintenance. The vehicle failed its two most recent annual inspections, indicating that the owner consistently defers essential repairs until the point of failure. This pattern suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to vehicle care, which is a significant consideration for a high-mileage commercial van. Accumulating nearly 150,000 miles in five years confirms this Transit Custom has been subjected to intensive commercial use, averaging roughly 30,000 miles per annum. The rapid accumulation of mileage is consistent throughout the record, with 19,104 miles added between April 2024 and May 2025, followed by another 13,247 miles in the subsequent year. Such high usage levels place substantial stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems, far exceeding the wear expected of a typical passenger vehicle. A prospective buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry and tyre wear patterns. The consistent flagging of tyres worn on the inner edges across multiple tests suggests an underlying alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that has not been rectified. Furthermore, the history of grinding rear brake pads and worn discs indicates that the braking system has been pushed to its functional limit repeatedly. You should look for signs of uneven pad wear and scoring on the discs, and verify that the headlamp aim has been correctly adjusted, as this was a documented failure point in 2025. Given the high mileage and history of electrical faults like inoperative pumps and lamps, a comprehensive check of the vehicle's auxiliary systems and wiring looms is also advisable.
