2021 Ford Transit Custom 320 Sport Eblue 2.0L Diesel · SR21 XRB

The vehicle currently presents a concerning roadworthiness profile following a significant failure in its most recent test. While it passed the MOT on 15 June 2026 at 91,995 miles, this occurred immediately after a failure on the same day. The tester identified that both front and rear brake pads were below the legal thickness limit, along with weakened front brake discs and pitted rear discs. This indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive maintenance, as critical components were only addressed once they reached a point of failure. The Transit has accumulated high mileage for its five-year age, averaging approximately 18,400 miles per year. Between June 2024 at 60,646 miles and June 2025 at 82,003 miles, the vehicle covered over 21,000 miles in just twelve months. This heavy usage places significant strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. The record shows a consistent annual testing pattern, but the high rate of travel suggests the vehicle was likely used for commercial work which necessitates more frequent service intervals. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system to ensure the recent repairs addressed the underlying efficiency issues flagged by the tester. The previous failure of the parking brake and service brake efficiency suggests the hydraulic system or mechanical linkages may be worn. Additionally, the historical deterioration of the offside front CV boot noted in 2025 should be checked for grease leaks or joint damage, as these often lead to costly axle replacements. The uneven tyre wear noted in 2024 also suggests potential alignment issues that require professional verification.
