2021 Ford Transit 330 Leader Ecoblue 2.0L Diesel · MM71 AFU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on November 24, 2025, 123,539 miles. The maintenance trend shows a recent resolution after an unexplained failure recorded just nine days prior on November 15, 2025, at 122,798 miles. While the record shows no specific defects for that failure, the rapid re-test suggests an administrative error or a minor component issue that was rectified immediately to bring the vehicle back into service. At 123,539 miles over five years, this Ford Transit has covered a high annual distance of approximately 24,700 miles. This de-level of usage indicates consistent heavy commercial application, which typically accelerates the wear on heavy-duty suspension and drivetrain components. The gap between the failed test and passed test is only 741 miles, confirming the vehicle is in active, daily use. Such mileage puts significant strain on the turbo, clutch system, and suspension bushes. A prospective buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the areas most susceptible to stress in high-mileage transit vans. Given the mileage, check for excessive play in the front suspension wish arms and sagging coil springs. Examine the brake discs for thinness or glazing, as high-mileage use often exhausts consumable braking hardware quickly. The buyer should also inspect the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the mounting points and exhaust hangers, as the MOT does not account for the depth of metal fatigue over five years of heavy road usage.
