2021 Ford Transit 350 Leader Ecoblue 2.0L Diesel · CX71 AVE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 20 November 2025 at 119,612 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similarly clean result from the 20 December 2024 test, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring faults. The mileage is high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging nearly 24,000 miles per year. Between the December 2024 test at 102,365 miles and the November 2025 test at 119,612 miles, the van covered 17,247 miles in eleven months. This consistent, high-intensity usage typically indicates motorway or long-distance fleet work, which is generally less taxing on the engine than stop-start urban cycles but accelerates wear on chassis components. Despite the clean MOT record, the high mileage necessitates a targeted physical inspection of high-wear items. A buyer should check the condition of the brake discs and pads, as the record does not show when these consumables were last replaced. The suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for fatigue, given the total mileage exceeds 119,000. Attention should also be paid to the structural integrity of the underside. While no corrosion was flagged in the recent tests, high-mileage Transit models often develop rust in the chassis rails or sills. Checking the service history for oil changes is critical, as the MOT only confirms roadworthiness and not the internal health of the EcoBlue engine or the condition of the timing belt and water pump.
