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

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent MOT test in November 2025 at 62,625 miles passed, the vehicle returned with advisories for thin rear brake pads and a worn offside front tyre. This suggests that components are only being addressed once they approach legal or safety limits. The trend is currently stable following a volatile period of multiple failures seen in late 2024. At 62,625 miles over five years, this Transit has averaged approximately 12,500 miles per annum. This mileage is consistent with a commercial vehicle but indicates regular heavy use of the drivetrain and suspension. The data shows a significant jump of 13,805 miles between the November 2024 and November 2025 tests. This rapid accumulation, combined with the mechanical failures recorded in October 2024, particularly the emissions failure and the continuous coolant leak, indicates the vehicle has been under considerable operational stress between service intervals. A buyer must physically inspect the cooling system and the AdBlue assembly, as the October 2024 failure flagged a continuous coolant leak posing a serious safety risk. The inability to complete emissions tests at that time points to potential sensor or exhaust system issues that require thorough diagnostic verification. Furthermore, the recurring mention of edge wear on the offside front tyre and the thin rear pads suggests a possible alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be checked to prevent premature wear on new tyres.
