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

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent MOT test in December 2025 at 39,139 miles passed, the tester again flagged significant pitting and scoring on both the front and rear brake discs. This issue was also present during the 2024 test, indicating that the previous owner ignored brake components until they reach a failure threshold rather than performing scheduled preventative replacements. The mileage pattern is consistent with a light-use commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. Between the December 2024 test at 26,409 miles and the December 2025 test at 39,139 miles, the vehicle covered 12,730 miles in a single year. This spike in usage compared to the five-year average likely explains the accelerated wear observed on the braking system and drivetrain components despite the relatively low total odometer reading. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front drive shaft area, as the 2024 test noted severe deterioration of both CV boots. If these were not replaced immediately, they would lead to grease loss and eventual joint failure. The recurring mention of pitted brake discs suggests the vehicle may have sat for long periods or operated in corrosive environments, allowing surface rust to degrade the rotors. Verify the current thickness of the brake pads and check for any signs of calipers to ensure the system is not nearing another point of failure.
