2021 Ford Transit Custom 280LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · YG71 WPL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 15 January 2026 at 98,400 miles. The maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern where the owner addresses immediate failures following a test. While the vehicle failed a test just two days prior due to lighting and wiper issues, these were rectified quickly to achieve a clean pass. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or structural defects in the most recent data. The mileage profile indicates high commercial usage, averaging nearly 20,000 miles annually over five years. Between the August 2024 test at 76,197 miles and the January 2026 test at 98,400 miles, the vehicle covered 22,203 miles in just seventeen months. This rapid accumulation suggests consistent motorway use or heavy fleet work, which places significant stress on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems. The consistency of the testing intervals suggests the vehicle remains in use without long periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. The recurring failures regarding windscreen wipers in both 2024 and 2026 suggest a neglect of basic consumable maintenance, which may indicate that other fluid-related items have been overlooked. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the suspension geometry for play and the condition of the brake discs for thinning is essential. The buyer should also inspect the chassis for corrosion around the mounting points to ensure the high-frequency use has not compromised the structural integrity of the van.
