2021 Ford Transit Custom 340 Trend Eblue 2.0L Diesel · YR71 ACY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with no defects recorded in its most recent May 2025 MOT at 9,069 miles. The maintenance trend remains stable, as the prior 2024 test at 6,433 miles also showed no issues. No recurring faults or escalating concerns are evident from the two consecutive clean MOTs, indicating consistent mechanical integrity over the past 14 months. The mileage of 9,069 miles for a five-year-old vehicle is exceptionally low, averaging 1,814 miles annually. The gap between the 2024 test (6,433 miles) and 2025 test (9,069 miles) reveals a 2,636-mile increase in 13 months, suggesting potential periods of inactivity or limited usage. This pattern may correlate with stored components degrading, such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers, which could develop binding or corrosion without regular operation. A buyer should inspect the vehicle’s suspension for worn bushes or uneven wear, as low mileage may mask hidden fatigue. Check brake discs and calipers for corrosion or uneven contact, and examine the exhaust system for internal rust, which can occur during prolonged idleness. Structural integrity should also be verified, particularly around the chassis and body seams, to rule out undetected corrosion. The absence of MOT advisories does not eliminate these risks, as they fall outside standard test parameters.
