2021 Ford Transit Custom 300LEADER Eblue 2.0L Diesel · YR71 TWM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive service approach. The most recent test in November 2025 at 109,933 miles resulted in a pass despite an advisory for thin rear brake pads. This suggests that while the vehicle meets minimum legal standards, consumable components are reaching the end of their functional life, showing a trend of deferred maintenance that only addresses faults during inspection intervals. The mileage profile reflects high usage for a five-year-old van, averaging approximately 22,000 miles per annum. Between the November 2024 and November 2025 tests, the vehicle covered exactly 21,405 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation confirms the vehicle is subjected to heavy commercial use, likely involving long-distance motorway mileage. Such high annual mileage places significantly accelerated stress on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system compared to lower-mileage examples. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the rear braking system to check for uneven wear or seized calipers, given the recent advisory on thin pads. The failure in November 2024 regarding high headlamp aim and a missing towball were minor adjustment issues, but they indicate the vehicle may not have been prepared prior to testing. Given the high mileage, close attention should be paid to the structural integrity of the suspension arms and the shock absorbers, as these components often degrade rapidly on Transit models operating under heavy annual loads.
