2022 Ford Transit 350 Leader Ecoblue AWD 2.0L Diesel · LB72 TKY

This Ford Transit has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness through its most recent MOT test on 4 December 2025, with no defects recorded at 7,375 miles. The absence of advisories or failings across the single available test suggests the vehicle passed all mandatory checks without exception, including emissions, structural integrity, and critical components such as brakes, steering, and suspension. However, the sparse MOT history limits long-term trend analysis, as only one test exists within the past eight months. The current test date is just over seven months old, which is acceptable but not ideal for a vehicle of this age, as it falls outside the DVSA’s recommended 12-month interval for commercial vehicles. The recorded mileage of 7,375 miles over approximately four years—roughly 1,844 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age and category. Such low mileage could indicate limited operational use, extended periods of storage, or potential underreporting. Without additional tests to compare, there is no evidence of rapid wear or accelerated failure, but the lack of mileage accumulation also means critical components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers may not have undergone the typical wear patterns associated with higher mileage. Buyers should verify the vehicle’s actual usage history, as prolonged inactivity can lead to issues such as degraded seals, battery sulphation, or corrosion in underbody components. Given the single clean MOT, the most prudent areas for an in-person inspection focus on components that are not directly tested by the MOT but are critical to long-term reliability. The suspension system, particularly the rear axle on an AWD model, should be examined for worn or leaking bushes, as low mileage does not guarantee these have remained unstressed. Brake discs and pads, while not failed in the MOT, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, which could indicate earlier issues not captured in the test. Additionally, the underbody and wheel arches should be inspected for corrosion, especially in the AWD-specific areas where additional drivetrain components may be exposed. The battery and fluid levels—including coolant, brake fluid, and differential oil—should also be verified, as they are not routinely checked in an MOT but are essential for preventing future failures.
