2021 Ford Transit Custom 280LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · RV71 WUX

The vehicle presents a stable and reassuring maintenance profile. The most recent MOT, conducted on 17 September 2025 at 57,684 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This clean bill of health indicates that all major safety and emissions systems were functioning correctly at the time of that test. However, that certificate is now over nine months old, meaning a fresh inspection is overdue under current regulations. The mileage accumulation is entirely consistent with typical commercial use. Between the 13 August 2024 test at 42,425 miles and the September 2025 test, the vehicle covered 15,259 miles in just over twelve months. That is a notable uptick compared to the earlier period, suggesting heavier recent use. The MOT history itself is sparse, with only two entries available, so there is no long-term pattern of recurring faults to analyse. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential. The Ford Transit Custom is a workhorse panel van, and 57,684 miles of commercial use can take a toll on components not always caught by a standard MOT. A buyer should thoroughly inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for wear, as these deteriorate under repeated load. The braking system, including discs, pads, and calipers, warrants close scrutiny for uneven wear or binding. Structurally, check the load floor, sills, and wheel arches for corrosion or signs of poor repair, particularly if the vehicle has been used for heavy cargo or stood idle for periods. The exhaust and emissions system should be examined for leaks or excessive soot, given the EcoBlue diesel engine's sensitivity to short-journey use and DPF regeneration issues. Tyre condition and tread depth should also be verified, as commercial vans often suffer uneven wear from heavy loads and kerb damage.
