2021 Ford Transit Custom 340 Trend Eblue 2.0L Diesel · LD21 TFO

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 22 May 2026 at 109,296 miles which returned no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the minor issue identified in the previous year having been addressed. The clean sheet from the most recent inspection suggests that the mechanical components are currently meeting the minimum safety standards without immediate urgent structural or mechanical failures. The mileage profile indicates high intensity use for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 22,000 miles annually. Between the May 2024 test at 66,290 miles and the May 2025 test at 86,348 miles, the van covered 20,000 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation continued with another 22,948 miles recorded before the latest test. Such consistent high-mileage puts significant strain on wear and tear components compared to lower-average commercial vehicles. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the braking system in person, as the May 2025 test flagged thin front brake pads at 86,348 miles. While this was resolved, the high mileage suggests that pads and discs should be checked frequently for accelerated thinning or uneven wear. Given the heavy usage pattern, a thorough examination of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is necessary to identify any premature degradation that often occurs on high-mileage Transit models before it appears as an MOT failure.
