2021 Ford Transit 350 Leader Ecoblue 2.0L Diesel · BT21 ACO

The Ford Transit shows a roadworthy status as of its latest examination. On 29 May 2025 at 56,695 miles the tester passed the van with no defects recorded, after a failed attempt on the identical date that also listed no faults. The maintenance trend is stable, with zero advisories or mechanical flags across both 2024 and 2025 tests. Mileage sat at 44,433 miles on 14 June 2024 and rose to 56,695 miles by 29 May 2025, a gain of 12,262 miles in eleven months. That accumulation tracks the expected ~11,339 miles per year for a 2021 registration, indicating typical light commercial use. The DVSA history is sparse, offering only two test events twelve months apart, both returning clean sheets with no noted wear on tyres, wipers, or exhaust emissions. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and binding calipers, given the record lacks any advisory on these components. The underbody and chassis joints demand a check for corrosion or structural compromise that a pass with no defects might overlook. The peculiar same-day fail-pass pairs on 13–14 June 2024 and 29 May 2025, each with no defect logged, merit a call to the issuing garage to confirm whether an administrative reversal or a minor non-recorded item triggered the failure. Previous keepers appear to have sustained basic mechanical care, as evidenced by repeated clean MOT outcomes and ordinary mileage. Failing twice on administrative grounds with no defects suggests no skipped consumable replacements like tyre tread or wiper blades went unnoticed. The Transit remains a low-risk purchase on paper, but a hands-on check of drivetrain and structural integrity is wise before funds transfer.
