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

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test on 5 May 2026 at 70,185 miles passed with only one advisory for a greasy offside front outer CV boot. This follows a significant failure in May 2025 where the vehicle failed multiple points regarding lighting, braking, and tyres. While the immediate faults were rectified to achieve passing, the recurring nature of consumable issues suggests components are only replaced once they approach failure limits. The vehicle has covered 70,185 miles over approximately five years, averaging roughly 14,000 miles per annum. This level of usage is consistent with a commercial Transit Custom but accelerates the wear on heavy-duty components. Between the May 2024 test at 42,748 miles and the May 2025 test at 56,759 miles, the vehicle clocked 14,011 miles in a single year. This consistent mileage explains the rapid wear on the suspension and braking system components. A buyer must inspect the front suspension alignment specifically, as the record shows a history of uneven tyre wear. The 2024 advisory for inner edge wear on the nearside front tyre and the 2025 failure for a worn edge offside front tyre point to a persistent tracking issue or worn suspension bushes. Furthermore, the 2026 advisory for a greasy CV boot requires immediate physical inspection to ensure the rubber has not perished, as a leaking boot will lead to rapid drive joint failure. Given the previous failure for thin brake pads in 2025, the remaining life of the current pads should be measured to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service interval.
