2021 Ford Transit Custom 340trnd Eblue A
CarHunch analysed 130 real MOT records for the 2021 Ford Transit Custom 340trnd Eblue A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This Transit Custom 340 has a strong 87.5% first-time pass rate, well above the UK average of 80%, and only 6.2% of vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect—a reassuringly low figure for a commercial workhorse. The data suggests this is a genuinely reliable van in its class.
At a median mileage of 37,190 miles for a 2021 model, these vans are running lighter than average, which supports the reliability picture. With just 0.32 failures per vehicle and 1.0 advisory per vehicle across the test fleet, most owners are seeing straightforward maintenance rather than structural problems—so if you're buying one, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on service history and any accident damage, but don't expect hidden gremlins.
What to check before buying a 2021 Ford Transit Custom 340trnd Eblue A
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
