2021 Ford Transit Custom 300 Trend Eblue 2.0L Diesel · VA03 PRO

This 2021 Ford Transit Custom 300 Trend EcoBlue presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend. The most recent MOT, conducted on 19 November 2025 at 82,140 miles, passed with zero defects, indicating that all major safety and emissions components met the required standards on that date. The preceding test on 29 August 2024 at 61,502 miles was also a clean pass. Two consecutive defect-free certificates suggest a vehicle that has been maintained to a consistent standard, with no recurring mechanical or structural faults flagged by DVSA testers. The mileage accumulation pattern warrants attention. Between the August 2024 and November 2025 tests, spanning approximately fifteen months, the van covered 20,638 miles, which equates to roughly 1,376 miles per month. This is a high annualised rate of around 16,500 miles per year, consistent with sustained commercial or long-distance use rather than light local driving. The gap between the two recorded tests is notable, as no MOT exists for the 2023 calendar year, likely because the vehicle's first MOT was not legally due until November 2024, three years after its 2021 registration. The data set is therefore limited to two tests, both clean, with no MOT advisories or failures on record. Despite the clean paperwork, a buyer should conduct a thorough in-person inspection focused on components subject to accelerated wear at this mileage. The front and rear suspension, including coil springs, shock absorbers, and bushes, should be checked for deterioration, as high-mileage commercial use places significant cyclic loading on these parts. Brake discs, pads, and calipers merit close scrutiny, particularly the rear calipers, which are a known binding issue on the Transit platform. Tyre condition and uneven wear patterns should be assessed, given the high mileage and potential for heavy payload use. The exhaust system and DPF should be inspected for soot loading or regeneration issues common in diesel vans covering mixed duty cycles. Underneath, check for corrosion on the chassis rails, cross-members, and around mounting points, as structural integrity is critical on a working van of this age and mileage.
