2021 Ford Transit 350 Leader Ecoblue 2.0L Diesel · HT21 GRF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on 21 May 2026 at 47,675 miles. The maintenance trend has shifted from a clean record to one showing neglect of basic consumables. While the vehicle passed its most recent test, it did so only after an initial failure on the same day due to a defective nearside side repeater. The presence of multiple advisories regarding a damaged mirror, a defective repeater lens, and a worn nearside rear tyre suggests a decline in the owner's attention to detail. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical use for a five year old commercial vehicle. It covered 8,249 miles between the February 2024 test at 26,466 miles and the June 2025 test at 34,719 miles. A more significant increase occurred over the following year, with the vehicle adding 12,956 miles by May 2026. This acceleration in usage explains the increased wear on tyres and external trim seen in the latest entries. A buyer should specifically inspect the nearside rear tyre and the condition of the wing mirror. The May 2026 record flags the tyre as worn on the edge at 3mm, which often indicates poor wheel alignment or uneven loading. Because the vehicle previously passed two tests with no defects in 2024 and 2025, there are no recurring mechanical failures or structural corrosion issues noted in the DVSA data. Attention should be paid to the electrical integrity of the side repeaters and indicators. The failure and subsequent pass on 21 May 2026 confirm a fault existed with the nearside side repeater. A physical check should ensure these repairs were carried out properly and that no other lighting components are failing, as the recent record suggests a pattern of ignoring minor external damage.
