Our Verdict
This 2021 Ford Transit Custom 300 Leader
When inspecting this Transit Custom, request a comprehensive paper or digital service record to verify how frequently the vehicle has been maintained alongside its MOT tests. Given the historical advisories and failure for worn brake pads in late 2024 and 2025, confirm when the pads and discs were last replaced and check their current thickness. Negotiate on price if any upcoming service items or replacement tyres are needed, keeping in mind that commercial vehicles often endure heavy stop-start duty cycles.
The 1995cc diesel engine falls into standard commercial vehicle tax brackets, though exact rates should be checked via the V5C. Insurance sits within standard commercial groups for a panel van of this size, depending on your business use profile and driver history. Typical maintenance costs will include routine servicing, filters, and periodic replacement of consumables like tyres and brakes, bringing estimated annual running costs to around £1,800-£2,200 including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance.
Pay close attention to the braking system, referencing the November 2025 MOT failure for front and rear inner brake pads measuring under 1.5mm, as well as the 2024 advisories noting thin pads. Check the condition of all four tyres across the tread width, noting the previous 2024 near-side and offside front tyre wear advisories. Inspect the windscreen wipers and glass for pitting or chips, and test all exterior lighting thoroughly given that headlamps are a common failure point for this model line.
First registered in December 2021, this white 1995cc diesel Ford Transit Custom has covered 53,401 miles as of its August 2026 MOT. Its MOT history shows a 2024 test with advisories for worn front and rear brake pads and front tyres, a subsequent failure in November 2025 due to thin brake pads and a wiper blade, followed by a clean pass in August 2026. This mileage equates to roughly 11,200 miles per year, which is below the national model average.
The Ford Transit Custom holds an average MOT pass rate of 80.3% across more than 23,000 evaluated vehicles, with headlamps, tyres, and windscreen wipers acting as the most frequent failure items.
