2021 Ford Transit Custom 280LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · YP21 GKZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend in reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test on 10 January 2026 at 93,299 miles, it had failed just two days prior at 93,292 miles. This failure revealed critical electronic and safety issues, including an ABS fault and an inoperative engine management lamp, suggesting that significant mechanical faults are only addressed when forced by an MOT failure rather than during routine servicing intervals. The van has accumulated significant mileage for its five-year age, averaging approximately 18,660 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 53,740 miles and the January 2025 test at 77,313 miles, the vehicle covered over 23,000 miles in under ten months. This high usage puts consistent strain on heavy-duty components. The jump of 16,000 miles between the last two tests confirms a high-intensity commercial use pattern which accelerates the wear on consumables and drivetrain components. A buyer must inspect the braking system and electronic engine management to ensure the faults flagged in January 2026 were fully rectified. The 2025 record already noted pitted and scored discs alongside thin rear pads, and the 2026 failure introduced an ABS warning that could indicate a faulty sensor or module. The nearside front tyre being worn on the edge in 2026 suggests an ongoing alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that remains unaddressed. Physical inspection should also target the suspension arms and mounting bolts, as the high-mileage profile often leads to rapid degradation of these Ford Transit components.
