2021 Ford Transit Custom 280LMTD Eblue A 2.0L Diesel · LB70 YBO

The most recent MOT test on 15 December 2025 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy at 85,541 miles, with no defects recorded. This marks a stable maintenance trend over the past two tests, as the January 2025 and January 2024 examinations also passed without fail. The absence of advisories or recurring issues suggests the vehicle has been consistently compliant with UK roadworthiness standards, though the near-side windscreen damage noted in January 2024—while not deemed critical—indicates a prior repair or replacement was required. The lack of any brake, suspension, or exhaust-related failures in the latest tests is particularly reassuring, though in-person verification of these systems remains essential. The recorded mileage of 85,541 miles over five years equates to approximately 17,108 miles annually, which is elevated for a vehicle of this age and type. This rate of usage implies accelerated wear on high-stress components such as tyres, brakes, and suspension, particularly given the absence of any MOT failures in these areas. Notably, there is a significant gap between the January 2024 (47,779 miles) and January 2025 (73,790 miles) tests, suggesting either a period of intensive use or an extended period between servicing. The final 11,751 miles were covered in just over a year, raising questions about whether routine maintenance—such as brake pad replacement or suspension servicing—was conducted at regular intervals. Given the high mileage and the lack of MOT-reported faults, a prospective buyer should prioritise an inspection of the brake system, including caliper binding, disc thickness, and rear brake shoe wear, as these are commonly overlooked in vehicles with this usage pattern. The suspension should be assessed for worn or leaking bushes, degraded coil springs, and excessive play in the steering rack or ball joints, particularly given the accelerated mileage. Tyre condition is another critical area; failing twice on tread depth in prior tests would be a red flag, but since none were recorded here, tread depth and lateral wear patterns should still be scrutinised. Finally, the windscreen repair history warrants confirmation that the current glass is structurally sound and free from hidden cracks or delamination, especially near the edges where stress concentrations can develop.
