2020 Ford Transit 350 Leader Ecoblue 2.0L Diesel · AE70 HWA

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 30 September 2025 with 90,830 miles. The history shows a consistent record of passes with the only minor defect noted in the last three years being an offside rear nail in the tyre. This suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a functional standard without significant mechanical failures or recurring structural issues being flagged during the testing process. The mileage profile indicates heavy usage for a six-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 15,000 miles per annum. Specifically, between October 2023 and October 2024, the vehicle covered 19,699 miles in a single year, followed by another 17,640 miles leading into the 2024 and 2025 tests. This rapid accumulation of mileage is consistent with long-distance motorway use or fleet work, which places higher stress on the drivetrain and suspension compared to lower-mileage examples. Given the high annual mileage, a prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension components and braking system. Look for worn bushes on the control arms, perished coil springs, or leaking shock absorbers, as these components degrade under heavy loads. While the MOT record shows no current binding calipers, the high mileage means the brake discs and pads should be measured for thickness to ensure they are not nearing the end of life. Check the chassis for signs of corrosion to ensure the high usage environment has not exposed the structural integrity to harsh environmental conditions.
