2020 Ford Transit 350 Leader Ecoblue 2.0L Diesel · AE20 HZU

The Ford Transit 350 Leader presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 17 June 2025 at 110,067 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the three-year record, with no advisories or mechanical faults logged at any stage. A buyer should note the vehicle failed the day prior on 16 June 2025 at the same mileage with no defects listed, then passed on retest; an identical pattern occurred on 13 June 2024 at 92,954 miles. This suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than latent mechanical faults. The van has covered 110,067 miles in roughly six years, an average of 18,344 miles per year and high for a 2020 model. Mileage climbed from 76,493 at the 21 June 2023 test to 92,954 by 13 June 2024, then to 110,067 by June 2025, showing consistent annual use of around 16,000 to 18,000 miles with no standing periods. The DVSA record is sparse, listing only passes and two zero-defect failures, so no wear trends on tyres, brakes, or suspension appear in the data. Given the clean MOT history, no specific structural or mechanical defects require flagging from the record itself. The high annual mileage implies expected consumable wear on brake discs, pads, and suspension bushes not yet captured by testers. A buyer should physically inspect for corrosion on chassis members, check coil springs and steering joints, and verify the condition of tyres and binding calipers given the vehicle's load-carrying history. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass cycles at 92,954 and 110,067 miles indicate the seller likely addressed a non-mechanical test rejection or paperwork error quickly. This shows the van was presented for testing without outstanding advisories. Treat the zero-defect record as a positive but confirm in-person that no hidden wear exists beyond the MOT scope.
