2021 Ford Transit 350 Leader Ecoblue 2.0L Diesel · HV70 FDG

The vehicle currently presents in a roadworthy condition, having passed its most recent MOT on 28 February 2026 at 62,697 miles with no recorded defects. This indicates an improving maintenance trend compared to the previous year, where multiple advisories regarding consumables were noted. The transition from a heavy advisory sheet to a clean pass suggests the owner has recently addressed the mechanical and wear issues identified in earlier inspections. The Transit has covered an average of approximately 12,540 miles per year over its five-year life, which is high for a commercial vehicle of this age. A significant mileage jump of 14,456 miles was recorded between February 2024 and February 2025, followed by another 20,266 miles leading into the February 2026 test. This consistent high-mileage pattern suggests heavy use, which typically accelerates the wear on heavy-duty suspension components, bushings, and drivetrain components. A physical inspection should focus on the rear braking system and the drivetrain to ensure previous issues are fully resolved. The February 2024 test flagged pitted and scored rear brake discs alongside an oil leak at the differential. While the 2026 test was clean, a buyer must verify that there is no active weeping from the rear axle and that the brake discs have been replaced rather than merely cleaned. The history of uneven tyre wear and sidew damage in 2024 and 2025 necessitates a check of the alignment and the condition of the suspension bushes to ensure the geometry is not causing premature tyre degradation.
