2021 Ford Transit Custom 300LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · YP21 AHG

This Ford Transit Custom has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over the past two years, with no defects recorded during the most recent MOT tests. The vehicle passed its last official inspection on 2025-03-20, just over a year ago, at 33,657 miles—a period that aligns with the standard 12-month MOT cycle. The absence of advisories or failings in either of the two tests conducted on that same date (a rare but valid scenario for vehicles with minor last-minute corrections) suggests the tester found no major issues requiring immediate attention. However, the duplicate test dates imply a brief delay in final approval, which could indicate administrative hold-ups rather than mechanical concerns. The recorded mileage of 33,657 miles over five years equates to an average of approximately 6,731 miles annually, a figure consistent with typical light-to-moderate usage for this vehicle type. The gap between the 2024-03-22 test at 25,624 miles and the 2025-03-20 tests at 33,657 miles shows a steady accumulation of around 8,000 miles in a year, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. While this pattern suggests regular driving rather than prolonged storage, it does not provide direct insight into maintenance frequency beyond the MOT cycle. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components that are not routinely covered by MOT standards. The suspension system—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—should be examined for uneven sagging or excessive play, as these are common points of failure in vans of this age and mileage. Brake calipers and pads, though not explicitly failed, warrant scrutiny for binding or uneven wear, especially if the vehicle has been used for heavy loads or towing. Additionally, the underbody should be inspected for corrosion around the wheel arches, sills, and exhaust system, as rust can compromise structural integrity without always being visible during a basic MOT. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns should also be checked, as the absence of MOT failures in this area does not guarantee they have been consistently maintained.
