2021 Ford Transit Custom 300LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · WN71 FWW

The vehicle's MOT history shows a recent instability in roadworthiness, evidenced by a failure on 10 March 2026, followed by a pass on 12 March 2026. While the most recent result shows no defects, the sudden failure in March 2026 breaks a sequence of clean passes recorded in July 2024 and March 2025. The absence of specific defect details in the 2026 failure record prevents a precise diagnosis of the mechanical issue that necessitated the retest. The current mileage of 72,944 miles indicates a high usage pattern for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,589 miles per year. This level of annual mileage suggests consistent commercial or long-distance use rather than sporadic trips. The record shows a relatively consistent testing interval, with the most recent tests occurring annually, though the gap between the July 2024 and March 2025 tests is shorter than the standard twelve-month cycle. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of components subject to heavy wear under high-mileage conditions. Given the recent failure in March 2026, a thorough check of the braking system, including brake pad thickness and disc condition, is necessary to identify any binding calipers or uneven wear. The suspension system, specifically the shock absorbers, coil springs, and various bushes, requires scrutiny to ensure no degradation has occurred due to the high annual mileage. The absence of recorded advisories in previous tests suggests that minor consumable wear like tyre tread or wiper blades has not been formally flagged by testers. However, the high mileage warrants a close inspection of the drivetrain and exhaust system for signs of premature wear or corrosion. The buyer must verify the specific reason for the March 2026 failure to ensure the defect was fully rectified and not merely a temporary fix.
