2021 Ford Transit Custom 300 Leader Mhev 2.0L Electric diesel · WP71 OVF

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 8 January 2026 at 45,410 miles, indicating a stable roadworthiness status following the rectification of several failures recorded just six days prior. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive servicing, as evidenced by the failure on 2 January 2026 for an illuminated engine malfunction indicator lamp and multiple failed components. While the vehicle passed its most recent inspection, the proximity of the failure and the subsequent pass suggests the issues were addressed specifically to satisfy the test requirements. The recorded mileage of 45,410 miles over approximately five years aligns with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this class, averaging roughly 9,000 miles annually. The data shows consistent, moderate accumulation between the December 2024 test at 37,806 miles and the January 2026 test, reflecting steady operational use. There are no significant gaps in the history that would suggest prolonged periods of inactivity, though the frequency of minor failures indicates the vehicle has been subjected to standard wear and tear consistent with its role as a Transit Custom. Prospective buyers should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension components, specifically the track rod ends, as the dust covers were flagged for deterioration in the most recent failure. Given the recurring issues with windscreen wipers and tyre wear noted in both the 2024 and 2026 tests, verify the current condition of the wiper blades and check all four tyres for uneven tread wear, which may point to underlying tracking or alignment issues. Finally, ensure the engine management system remains clear of fault codes, as the previous failure for an inoperative malfunction indicator lamp warrants confirmation that the underlying mechanical or electrical cause has been fully resolved rather than merely cleared.
