2022 Ford Transit 350 Trend Ecoblue 2.0L Heavy oil · SD22 AXR

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the latest test on 31 May 2026 resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a previous pass in May 2025, which noted a non-excessive oil leak, indicating a positive trend as that specific concern was not flagged during the most recent inspection. The recorded mileage of 38,795 miles reflects a typical usage pattern for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,699 miles per year. This level of accumulation suggests regular operational use, which generally avoids the complications associated with long-term standing while remaining below the thresholds where significant wear to suspension bushes or drivetrain components typically becomes critical. Inspection should focus on the engine area to verify the status of the oil leak mentioned in the 2025 record. A thorough check for fresh oil residue around the cylinder head, sump, and gaskets is advised to determine if the leak was repaired or if it has simply remained below the threshold for an MOT advisory. During the test drive, monitor for any smell of burning oil, which often indicates fluid leaking onto the exhaust manifold. Additionally, verify that the engine operates smoothly without abnormal vibrations or noises, ensuring that the current defect-free status is reflected in the vehicle's actual mechanical performance.
