2021 Ford Transit Custom 280LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · YF71 KBK

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on 11 November 2025 at 50,578 miles. The maintenance trend shows a recent dip in mechanical standards that was immediately addressed. While the vehicle passed its previous test in 2024, the failure just one day prior to the most recent test indicates that the braking system required urgent intervention before the vehicle could be deemed legal again. At 50,578 miles over five years, the Transit has averaged approximately 10,116 miles per annum. This aligns with typical usage patterns for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent operation, with 11,000 miles covered between the November 2024 test at 39,558 miles and the November 2025 failure at 50,519 miles. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not been sitting for long periods, which helps prevent internal component Seizing. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the rear braking assembly. The failure in November 2025 specifically flagged an inoperative offside rear parking brake, a worn and pitted brake disc, and low overall efficiency. These faults often point to a seized brake cable or a corroded adjuster mechanism. You should verify that the offside disc and shoes were replaced and that the parking brake now holds firmly on a gradient without slipping. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, checking the suspension bushes for signs of rubber wear is also advisable, as these components are common points of failure on the Transit platform under heavy loads.
