2021 Ford Transit 290 Leader Ecoblue 2.0L Diesel · LC71 AAV

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 18 October 2025 at 21,481 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similarly clean result from the 23 October 2024 test, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a five year old Transit, averaging roughly 4,296 miles per year. Between October 2024 and October 2025, the vehicle covered 5,293 miles. This low usage suggests the van has not been subjected to the typical heavy-duty cycles associated with commercial fleet work, which typically results in accelerated wear on the drivetrain and suspension. While the MOT record is devoid of faults, the low mileage and lack of recorded defects can sometimes mask issues related to vehicle inactivity. A buyer should specifically check for signs of brake disc corrosion or binding calipers, as components can seize when not used frequently. Inspecting the tyre dates is also necessary to ensure the rubber has not perished due to age, regardless of the remaining tread depth. Check the engine oil and coolant condition to confirm regular servicing intervals were met despite the low annual mileage. Since the MOT history provides no evidence of structural corrosion or suspension wear, a physical inspection should focus on verifying that the vehicle has not spent extended periods standing in damp environments, which can lead to hidden underside rust.
