2021 Ford Transit Custom 260LEADER Eblue 2.0L Diesel · SF21 DVE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its most recent MOT on August 13, 2025 at 58,553 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of reactive repairing, as the vehicle failed that same day just one mile prior due to an engine management light fault and a nearside rear position lamp. While the faults were rectified immediately, the pattern suggests the previous owner tended to address defects only when prompted by a test failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a five-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 11,700 miles per year. Between the August 2024 test at 45,161 miles and the August 2025 test at 58,553 miles, the van covered 13,392 miles. This steady rate of use indicates regular operational cycles rather than long periods of standing, which is generally positive for the health of the electric drivetrain, seals, and braking system. A buyer should inspect the front braking system specifically, as the 2024 failure at 45,161 miles flagged front brake pads reaching the wear indicator. Although these were likely replaced following that test, the current thickness of the discs and pads should be verified to ensure they have not worn prematurely. The previous failure of the windscreen wipers also suggests that the wiper arms or blades may be neglected, which should be checked for proper tension and to ensure visibility in poor weather. Given the engine management light failure in August 2025, a diagnostic scan is advisable to ensure no other hidden fault codes or intermittent issues remain stored in the control unit. The record does not currently highlight structural corrosion or suspension bushing wear, but a physical inspection of the undercarriage and chassis for signs of rust remains standard practice for a Transit of this age and mileage.
