2021 Ford Transit Custom 300LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · WR71 KTP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While the latest test in October 2025 at 89,139 miles passed, the tester flagged multiple advisories that suggest neglect of basic consumables. The presence of both front tyres being close to the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear indicates potential alignment issues or worn suspension components that the previous owner has now failed to address before they reached a critical state. The mileage accumulation is aggressive for a five-year-old commercial vehicle, having covered approximately 29,051 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. This represents an annual run of nearly 30,000 miles, which significantly exceeds the UK average for this vehicle class. Such high usage places immense stress on the drivetrain, suspension arm bushes, and braking system. The gap between the 2024 test and the 2025 test shows heavy commercial application, which accelerates the degradation of non-visible mechanical parts. A physical inspection must focus on the front suspension geometry and bushings to explain the uneven tyre wear noted in the 2025 record. The buyer should check for play in the wishbones and steering rack, as the high-mileage cycles often exhaust these components prematurely on Transit Custom models. Given the 2024 failure for a sidewall cut on the nearside rear and the subsequent wear on the front, the entire set of tyres should be scrutinised for structural bulges or cord fraying. The damaged windscreen also requires monitoring for spreading cracks that could lead to a future failure under structural pressure.
