2022 Ford Transit 350 Trend Ecoblue 2.0L Diesel · MM71 NNG

The vehicle presents a stable and currently sound roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 26 January 2026 at 52,543 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend is clearly improving. An initial failure on the same date for worn front brake pads was promptly rectified, and the subsequent clean pass indicates the owner addressed the defect immediately rather than deferring the repair. No corrosion, structural deterioration, or suspension faults have been flagged across the entire recorded history. The mileage accumulation is notably high for a four-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 13,136 miles per year. The record shows a jump of 13,695 miles between the January 2025 test at 38,848 miles and the January 2026 test at 52,543 miles, confirming sustained heavy use over the past twelve months. This is consistent with regular long-distance or high-frequency commercial operation rather than prolonged standing. The MOT history itself is sparse, with only two test events on record, both occurring in January of their respective years, suggesting a single annual testing pattern with no gaps or missed years. The 2025 failure for a below-minimum nearside front tyre and an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit points to uneven front tyre wear, which on a front-heavy EcoBlue Transit often indicates toe misalignment or neglected wheel geometry. A buyer should inspect the inner and outer edges of all four tyres for uneven wear patterns and check whether a recent wheel alignment has been carried out. The 2026 front brake pad failure, now resolved, warrants a close inspection of the front brake discs for scoring or lipping, as pads worn to the wear indicator typically indicate the discs have also been operating under excessive friction. Given the high mileage, the rear brake calipers and handbrake mechanism should be checked for binding, and the front suspension bushes and coil springs examined for fatigue consistent with a vehicle that has covered over 52,000 miles of commercial use.
