2021 Ford Transit 290 Leader Ecoblue 2.0L Diesel · YM21 AHA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, as the latest MOT on 2025-05-12 at 53,941 miles recorded a pass with no defects. The absence of defects in that test, together with a prior pass at 38,958 miles on 2024-05-14, shows a stable maintenance record and no clear trend of worsening issues. The van is about five years old and has covered 53,941 miles, averaging roughly 10,788 miles per year, which is typical for its class. Mileage jumped from 38,935 miles at the May 2024 test to 53,941 miles a year later, an increase of about 15,000 miles in twelve months. That acceleration suggests either heavier use or longer intervals between tests, but the recorded figures remain within normal commercial‑van usage for the age. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs and brake discs, as these components endure the most stress over high annual mileage. Check the rear brake calipers for binding, examine the exhaust for corrosion, and look for any structural rust around the wheel arches and cross members. Also verify tyre tread depth and look for irregular wear that could indicate alignment or suspension problems. These checks will reveal any hidden wear that the MOT history, which recorded no defects, does not disclose.
