2021 Ford Transit Custom 320LEADER Eblue 2.0L Diesel · VA21 MYB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The test on 18 June 2025 at 54,191 miles passed despite the presence of a non-excessive oil leak and worn front brake discs. While these issues did not cause a failure, the presence of worn components and fluid leaks suggests that parts are reaching the end of their service life and require imminent mechanical attention. The recorded mileage of 54,191 miles over a five-year period is consistent with typical commercial usage, averaging approximately 10,838 miles per annum. Between the June 2024 test at 41,030 miles and the June 2025 test, the vehicle covered 13,161 miles. This steady rate of accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which generally results in predictable wear on mechanical components like suspension bushes and drivetrain seals. A physical inspection must focus on the braking system and drivetrain integrity. The 2024 advisory flagged both rear tyres for uneven wear on the inner edges and stepping, which often points to an alignment issue or worn suspension components. Given the worn front discs noted in 2025, a buyer should verify the thickness of the remaining pads and check for binding calipers. The transmission oil leak identified in the 2025 test also requires a close inspection to determine if it is a minor seal weeping or a more significant leak that could lead to component failure if not addressed.
