Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to recent tyre
When inspecting this specific Transit Custom, pay close attention to the suspension and wheel alignment. The 2024 MOT noted an offside front tyre worn on the inner edge, and the 2025 MOT reported uneven wear on the nearside rear tyre. This pattern often points to alignment issues or worn suspension components which should be checked before purchase.
Negotiate on the basis of upcoming maintenance. The most recent MOT recorded a defective spare tyre and uneven tyre wear, meaning a buyer will likely need to budget for a new set of tyres and a wheel alignment immediately. Additionally, verify if the brake pads mentioned in the 2024 MOT were replaced or if they have since reached a critical state.
As a 2.0L diesel vehicle, fuel economy will depend heavily on load and driving style, but typical for a Transit Custom of this spec. Being a Euro 6 engine, it is compliant with current ULEZ and CAZ regulations, which helps avoid daily charges in many UK cities.
Insurance groups for the Transit Custom can vary widely depending on the driver profile, but the 'Leader' trim is generally positioned in the mid-range. Maintenance costs should be factored in for heavy-duty components like brakes and tyres, which have already shown wear in the MOT history. Estimated annual running costs are approximately £1,800-£2,400 depending on usage.
Focus your inspection on the wheel arches and tyres. Given the MOT history of inner-edge tyre wear (2024) and uneven nearside rear wear (2025), check for any signs of knocked suspension components, worn bushings, or damaged steering racks.
Check the braking system thoroughly. The 2024 MOT specifically flagged thin front inner brake pads. Ensure there is no excessive vibration when braking and check the discs for scoring. Finally, ensure the spare tyre is replaced, as the 2025 record shows it was at the legal limit of 1.6mm.
This 2021 Ford Transit Custom 300Leader eBlue has covered 72,298 miles since its first registration in October 2021. The MOT history shows two recorded passes, but with specific advisories and failures regarding tyres and brake pads. The mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 13,805 miles per year, indicating heavy commercial use.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 80.2% MOT pass rate, with common failures relating to headlamps, tyres, and windscreen wipers.
