2020 Ford Transit 350 Leader Ecoblue 2.0L Diesel · CP69 BZV

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 15 January 2026 at 81,790 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This stability extends back across four years of records, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that prevents the mechanical or structural failures typically seen in commercial vans. The mileage pattern indicates consistent and high-frequency use, averaging approximately 13,600 miles per year. Between the January 2023 test at 41,586 miles and the January 2025 test at 70,980 miles, the vehicle covered nearly 30,000 miles in two years. The steady accumulation of 10,810 miles between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests further confirms the van has been used for regular work rather than sitting for long periods, which often results in predictable wear on drivetrain and suspension components. Despite the clean test results, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of components prone to heavy-duty cycle wear. A buyer should examine the front suspension bushes and control arms for signs of perished rubber, as the high mileage puts significant stress on these areas. The braking system should be checked for uneven disc wear or binding calipers, given that the record does not flag past issues that may appear suddenly before the next inspection. Final attention must be paid to the chassis for early-stage structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and mounting points, to ensure no hidden rust has developed despite the clean passes. While the MOT data reflects a well-maintained vehicle, the sheer distance covered by this Ford Transit means that consumables like the clutch and shock absorbers are nearing their later service intervals. Verifying the service history against these mileage figures is essential to ensure the mechanical health matches the positive MOT record.
