2021 Ford Transit Custom 260LEADER Eblue 2.0L Diesel · ST71 MKD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 14 November 2025 at 62,519 miles resulted in a pass with a single advisory regarding an offside front tyre showing signs of cracking. This indicates that the primary mechanical and structural components met the minimum safety standards, though consumable items are beginning to show age-related wear. The mileage pattern reflects consistent and relatively high usage, averaging approximately 12,500 miles annually. Between the November 2024 test at 43,039 miles and the November 2025 test at 62,519 miles, the vehicle covered 19,480 miles. This acceleration in mileage suggests heavy annual commercial application rather than long periods of standing. The lack of recorded defects in the 2024 test indicates that the vehicle was maintained in good mechanical order during that period of operation. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the offside front tyre to determine if the perishing is isolated or indicative of broader neglect of rubber components. Given the high mileage for its age, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is necessary, as these components endure significant stress in heavy Transit models. Additionally, the brakes should be examined for binding calipers or thin discs to ensure the high annual mileage has not accelerated the wear on the braking system.
