Buyer's Guide & Inspection Advisory
Expert automotive synthesis from historical MOT defect records and market benchmarks.
Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to significantly above-average mileage for the vehicle age. While the most recent MOT was clean, the high usage suggests heavy commercial application which requires rigorous mechanical inspection.
The primary concern here is the mileage; at over 117,000 miles for a 2022 registration, this van has been driven nearly double the distance of a typical Transit of its age. You must verify that the service history is comprehensive and follows shorter intervals than the manufacturer recommendation to account for the high-mileage wear on tear components. Check for signs of clutch wear, suspension sagging, and turbo health, as these are common stress points on heavily used vans.
When negotiating, use the high mileage as leverage, as the value of high-mileage commercial vehicles drops significantly. Ask if any major components like the timing belt and water pump have been replaced. Ensure the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) has been properly maintained, as high-mileage EcoBlue engines are prone to issues if used primarily.
The 2.0L EcoBlue engine is designed for efficiency, but real-world figures will depend heavily on load and usage. Owners typically expect fuel economy between 30-38 mpg depending on conditions. Tax and insurance for a commercial vehicle of this size are generally higher than passenger cars.
Maintenance costs will be higher than a lower-mileage example due to the frequency of replacing brakes, tyres, and suspension components. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, and basic maintenance are likely to between £3,500 and £4,500.
Inspect the recent MOT history closely; while the 2025 and 2026 tests resulted in 'no defects recorded' after failures, the failures themselves just miles prior suggest the vehicle was operating on the edge of legal safety standards. Look specifically for uneven tyre wear and brake component thinness, as these are the top failure reasons for this model aggregate.
Given the high mileage, perform a thorough underbody check for chassis corrosion and inspect all rubber bushings and shocks for leaks. Look for any visible oil leaks around the engine and turbocharger, which become more common as these engines pass the 100,000-mile mark.
This 2022 Ford Transit 350 Leader EcoBlue has covered 117,681 miles in just four and a half years, far exceeding the national average for its model. Although it passed its latest MOT in February 2026 without recorded defects, the history shows two MOT failures that occurred immediately prior to passes. The vehicle features a 2.0L diesel engine, a common choice for high-mileage work.
The Ford Transit EcoBlue engine is generally considered robust for high mileage but is sensitive to DPF and fuel system issues if maintenance intervals are neglected.
