2020 Ford Transit 350 Leader Ecoblue 2.0L Diesel · HW70 PSO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 111,716 miles was a pass, the vehicle failed immediately prior due to lighting and tyre condition. The trend shows a recurring pattern of minor electrical and consumable failures being addressed only at the MOT testing stage, suggesting the owner only resolves faults when strictly necessary to pass the annual inspection. The Transit has covered significant mileage for its six years, averaging over 18,000 miles per year. Between November 2023 at 67,911 miles and November 2025 at 111,716 miles, the vehicle clocked 43,805 miles in just two years. This high rate of accumulation suggests heavy commercial use or motorway commuting. Such level of usage typically places substantial stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking systems, which accelerates the wear of mechanical parts compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer must physically inspect the rear suspension and tyres, as the 2025 test flagged both NSR and OSR tyres as worn to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This specific pattern often points to alignment issues or worn shock absorbers and bushes. The history of failed indicators, markers, and fog lights across 2024 and 2025 highlights a lack of basic electrical maintenance. Given the high mileage, you should also check for signs of structural corrosion on the chassis, as the record does not provide data on the condition of the underbody.
