2020 Ford Transit 350 Limited Ecoblue 2.0L Diesel · R222 AAS

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status based on the 2 July 2025 test at 90,475 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend is stable, with no advisories or faults across the available records. One anomaly stands out: on 1 July 2025 at 90,474 miles the van failed the MOT yet the tester logged no defects, and the following day it passed cleanly. This points to an administrative irregularity rather than a worsening mechanical fault. Mileage data shows higher-than-typical use for a 2020 plate. The odometer read 57,345 miles at the 16 November 2023 test, then climbed to 90,474 miles by 1 July 2025. That is 33,129 miles in roughly nineteen months, an annual rate near 20,400 miles and above the 15,079 miles per year implied by the current 90,475 total. The gap between the November 2023 certificate and the July 2025 re-test indicates the MOT lapsed for around seven months, so the van may have seen limited or unrecorded use in that window. The sparse three-entry history offers no evidence of recurring defects. Prospective buyers should still inspect typical high-mileage Transit wear items in person. Examine suspension bushes, coil springs, and damper condition for fatigue; check brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear; assess exhaust emissions and turbo operation on the EcoBlue unit; inspect chassis rails and body mounts for corrosion and confirm structural integrity. The unexplained fail with zero listed defects merits a request for the full DVSA test printout to rule out omitted advisories. The clean pass record alongside heavy annual mileage suggests the previous operator maintained basic test compliance but the late 2025 presentation and the contradictory fail hint at casual administrative habits rather than outright mechanical neglect.
