2021 Ford Transit 350 Leader Ecoblue 2.0L Diesel · EE19 BAL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 14 July 2025 at 146,773 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a pattern of immediate rectification following failures. The vehicle failed testing in both 2024 and 2025 but passed on the subsequent retest, suggesting minor or consumable issues such as light bulbs or minor mechanical adjustments that were addressed promptly rather than deep-seated mechanical failures. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a five-year-old Transit, averaging approximately 29,355 miles per year. Between 14 February 2024 and 14 July 2025, the vehicle covered 12,303 miles in just seventeen months. This rapid rate of accumulation indicates heavy commercial use, likely long-distance motorway work. Such high mileage places significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. The lack of recorded advisories in the passing tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained to despite the high operational intensity. A buyer should prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and underbody components. Given the mileage, check for excessive wear on control arm bushes, shock absorbers, and coil springs which frequently fatigue under heavy loads. Examine the brake discs and pads for signs of uneven thinning or binding calipers, as high-frequency use accelerates wear on these components. Additionally, verify the structural integrity of the chassis for corrosion, ensuring that the high-mileage history has not led to stress fractures or accelerated rust in the mounting points.
