2021 Ford Transit Custom 300LMTD Eblue A 2.0L Diesel · LD14 LAB

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 5 May 2026 at 44,889 miles. While the van passed its most recent inspection, the maintenance trend shows a clear decline in the condition of the braking system. The emergence of an oil leak at the sump area, coupled with recurring issues regarding brake disc wear, indicates that the vehicle is now entering a phase where consumable components require proactive replacement rather than simple monitoring. The mileage accumulation remains consistent with typical commercial usage for a five-year-old Ford Transit Custom. The vehicle covered approximately 14,964 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, followed by a similar increase of 16,324 miles leading up to the most recent inspection. This steady progression suggests the van has been in regular operation rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which generally benefits engine seals and battery health but accelerates the wear on suspension and drivetrain components. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the rear brake discs, as the current advisories for lipped and pitted surfaces necessitate a full replacement of discs and pads in the immediate future. The reported oil leak at the sump area requires a professional assessment to determine if this is a minor gasket weep or a more significant seal failure that could lead to contamination of the under-tray or surrounding components. Checking the integrity of the suspension bushes and the condition of the tyres is also recommended, as the current MOT record highlights a pattern of ignoring brake wear until it reaches the point of advisory, suggesting that other maintenance items may have been similarly deferred.
