2021 Ford Transit Custom 280LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · YP71 NTX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test on 26 November 2025 at 28,503 miles identified front brake pads as wearing thin. This follows a previous advisory in 2024 regarding brake heat and tyre wear, suggesting that mechanical components are only being addressed once they approach point of failure rather than being replaced during routine intervals. At 28,503 miles over five years, this Ford Transit has covered significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year. The gap between the November 2024 test at 22,303 miles and the November 2025 test shows an accumulation of 6,200 miles. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can sometimes lead to flat spotting on tyres or corrosion of brake components if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and front suspension geometry. The November 2024 advisory noted the offside rear brake signs of getting hot, which often indicates a binding caliper or seized slide pins that requires thorough checking. Furthermore, the report of both front tyres being worn on the edge suggests a potential wheel alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to prevent premature replacement of new rubber.
