2021 Ford Transit 350 Trend Ecoblue 2.0L Diesel · LD71 ACU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test on 30 April 2025 at 39,367 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a technical failure on the same day at the same mileage, the lack of recorded defects suggests either an administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately prior to the re-test. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per annum. Between the May 2024 test at 28,679 miles and the April facto April 2025 test at 39,367 miles, the vehicle covered 10,688 miles. This indicates regular annual use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and braking components to prevent seizing or de-oxidation-related issues. Since the MOT history is clear of recurring structural corrosion, mechanical failures, or brake issues, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear items for a Transit of this age. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of premature wear, as these often degrade on heavy-duty vans regardless of low mileage. Examine the brake discs for uneven wear or binding calipers, as the record does not flag these specific issues but they remain common as the vehicle approaches the 40,000-mile mark.
