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

The 2021 Ford Transit Custom has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded in either of the two most recent tests, most recently passing on 26 June 2025 at 68,542 miles. This suggests the vehicle has undergone consistent roadworthiness checks without major mechanical failures, though the absence of advisories or minor faults means no further context on wear patterns is provided. The most recent test occurred just over a year ago, which is within the standard MOT validity period, though buyers should verify whether the vehicle has been driven regularly since then—particularly given the high mileage accumulation. The recorded mileage of 68,542 miles over approximately five years equates to an average of around 13,700 miles annually, which is elevated for a commercial van of this age. Between the September 2024 and June 2025 tests, the vehicle accumulated 1,986 miles in just over nine months, indicating sustained use rather than sporadic operation. While this suggests higher wear on consumables like tyres, brakes, and suspension, there are no MOT records to indicate whether this usage has led to premature failure or if the vehicle has been maintained accordingly. The lack of intermediate MOTs or service records means no direct correlation can be drawn between mileage and mechanical condition beyond the test results. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components likely affected by the high mileage. Focus on the suspension system—particularly coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—for signs of uneven wear or corrosion, as these are critical for ride quality and handling. The brakes should be thoroughly checked for uneven pad thickness, binding calipers, or excessive disc wear, especially if the vehicle has been used for heavy or frequent stops. Additionally, inspect the exhaust system for leaks or rust penetration, particularly around joints and mounts, given the van’s age and exposure to road salt or industrial environments. Tyre condition should also be verified, as the absence of MOT defects does not guarantee they have been rotated or replaced at appropriate intervals. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion and welds, warrants attention, particularly if the vehicle has been operated in wet or corrosive conditions.
