Moderate sample. 494 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

This Transit Custom 340 is more reliable than the UK average, with an 86.3% first-time MOT pass rate against the 80% benchmark, and a relatively low dangerous defect rate of 12.2% suggests these vans are broadly safe propositions. The 0.43 average failures per vehicle indicates genuine dependability, though you should expect around 1.8 advisories per test—typical wear items like brake pad and suspension wear.

At 56,250 miles median, these vans are running low mileage for their age, which explains the solid pass rates and suggests you're looking at well-maintained examples. When checking an individual van, budget for minor advisory work but prioritise a full inspection of the brake and suspension components, as these consistently crop up across the cohort.

The 2021 Ford Transit Custom 340 Trend Eblue passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (87.2% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.

⚠️ Around 1 in 8 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.

For context
✅ Good baseline reliability. A 87.2% first-time pass rate puts this well above the UK average — it's a well-sorted vehicle in this age bracket.
🔧 Expect consumable spend. An average of 1.8 advisories per vehicle tells you wear items (tyres, brakes) get flagged regularly. Budget for them — they're not surprises.
🔍 The dangerous defect figure is real. Most are one-off tyre failures or brake issues — not structural problems. But it's exactly why checking the individual vehicle's history is essential, not optional.

These stats describe 494 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
