2019 Ford Transit 350 Leader Ecoblue 2.0L Diesel · LC69 RCY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift towards minor mechanical wear as mileage increases. The most recent test in October 2025 at 85,806 miles passed despite an advisory for a slightly noisy offside front wheel bearing. This follows a pass in August 2025 where a deteriorated rear registration plate was noted. While the vehicle maintained clean records during inspections in 2023 and 2024, the emergence of component fatigue is beginning. The mileage profile indicates high usage levels, with the vehicle averaging approximately 12,258 miles per year over its seven-year life. There is a significant spike in accumulation of 17,866 miles between the October 2024 test (67,217 miles) and August 2025 test (85,083 miles). This rapid increase suggests the vehicle has been under heavy use recently, which typically accelerates the degradation of suspension bushes, braking components, and drivetrain parts compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer should specifically inspect the offside front wheel bearing to determine the extent of the play, as noisy bearings often require imminent replacement to prevent hub failure. The history also shows a 2023 failure regarding wiper blades and washer fluid, which, while minor, indicates that basic consumable maintenance was previously neglected. Given the high annual mileage, a thorough check of the suspension geometry and the condition of the brake discs for thinning or scoring is necessary to ensure the heavy workload has not compromised the structural integrity or safety components.
