2022 Ford Transit 290 Trend Ecoblue 2.0L Diesel · MM71 NNR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a decline in basic exterior maintenance standards. While the van passed its April 2025 test with no recorded defects, the March 2026 MOT at 43,638 miles revealed several minor failures and advisories. This shift suggests that while the primary mechanical components remain functional, the owner has neglected minor trimwork repairs and consumable checks over the last twelve months. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical commercial use for a Ford Transit, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. Between the April 2025 test at 29,599 miles and the March 2026 test at 43,638 miles, the vehicle covered 14,039 miles in eleven months. This accelerated rate of use compared to the previous annual average explains the premature wear observed on the front offside front tyre noted in the most recent test. A buyer should specifically inspect the front offside tyre, as the March 2026 record flagged it as worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. The missing and defective side repeater lenses also require immediate replacement to ensure full legal compliance. Further attention should be paid to the tyre condition and suspension components, as the increased mileage accumulation in the final year puts higher stress on these areas.
