2021 Ford Transit Custom 340LIMITED Mhev 2.0L Electric diesel · ML71 AHA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its December 2025 MOT at 69,467 miles, with no defects recorded. However, a prior failure on 2025-12-11 at 68,797 miles—also with no defects—suggests potential administrative or procedural issues rather than mechanical faults. The absence of recorded defects in the most recent test indicates stable maintenance, but the rapid mileage accumulation and lack of detailed fault history limit confidence in long-term reliability. The vehicle’s 69,467 miles represent an annual average of 13,893 miles over five years, exceeding typical usage for its age. A significant jump from 47,608 miles in September 2024 to 68,797 miles by December 2025—over 21,000 miles in 15 months—implies heavy usage or frequent operation. This pattern increases wear on consumables like tyres and brake components, though no such issues were flagged in the MOT records. The sparse data between 2024 and 2025 leaves gaps in assessing gradual degradation of suspension or drivetrain elements. A physical inspection should prioritise suspension bushes, coil springs, and rear brake calipers, as rapid mileage can accelerate wear in these areas. The exhaust system and corrosion on underbody components merit scrutiny, given the high mileage and potential exposure to road salt or moisture. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the vehicle’s usage profile and limited defect records necessitate a thorough check of mechanical integrity before purchase.
