2021 Ford Transit 350 Trail Ecoblue Mhev 2.0L Diesel · GY21 JCJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend is worsening. The 2026-07-28 test returned a failure for a missing offside rear seat belt and a worn rear brake disc. While the brake disc was flagged as worn but not excessively so, the progression from a pass on 2025-06-30 with perishing tyres and pitted discs to a failure twelve months later signals deferred upkeep. The seat belt omission is a structural oversight rather than a mechanical fault. The mileage accumulation is aggressive. Between the March 2024 entries at 87,642 miles and the July 2026 entry at 95,521 miles, the vehicle logged approximately 7,879 miles over two years. This equates to roughly 19,104 miles per year, which is significantly higher than average for a five-year-old van. The record shows two entries on 2024-03-22 at 87,642 miles, one passed and one failed for headlamp aim, implying a re-test on the same day rather than a gap in service. A buyer should inspect the rear brake discs and suspension bushes closely, given the disc was flagged as worn at the 2025 test and again at failure in 2026. The four tyres were perishing at 93,312 miles, suggesting the wheel arches or rubber compounds are prone to degradation. The headlamp aim failure at 87,642 miles indicates the front suspension geometry may be shifting or the mounting points are loose.
