2022 Ford Transit 350 Leader Ecoblue 2.0L Diesel · HG72 FML

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on 4 November 2025 at 52,854 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a period of reactive repair rather than proactive upkeep. The failure just six days prior on 30 October 2025 at 52,827 miles revealed multiple defects across lighting, suspension, and tyres which were resolved quickly. This suggests the previous owner only addressed faults once they threatened an MOT failure. At 52,854 miles over four years, this Transit has averaged approximately 13,200 miles per annum. This usage level is consistent with a commercial vehicle but places significant demand on heavy-duty components. The very short interval between the failure in October and the pass in November indicates that only 27 miles were driven between the two tests, implying the repairs were immediate. The rapid mileage accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly for work, which accelerates the wear on suspension bushings and braking systems. A buyer must inspect the rear suspension thoroughly, as the tester flagged an excessively worn nearside rear anti-roll bar pin or bush during the October 2025 test. Wear in this area often affects handling stability and can indicate broader fatigue on the axle assembly. The previous report of a nearside tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge also points to potential alignment issues or worn shock absorbers that require physical verification. Check all lighting clusters, specifically the repeaters, to ensure the repairs for incorrect colour and insecure mounting are secure.
