2022 Ford Transit 350 Limited Ecoblue 2.0L Diesel · SN22 LOH

The most recent MOT test conducted on 8 September 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Reviewing the full history, including the tests from May 2024 and May 2023, the vehicle has maintained a consistently clean record with no failures or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend and suggests that the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy condition without any recurring mechanical issues or systemic failures. The recorded mileage of 13,679 miles over approximately four years is exceptionally low for a Ford Transit, averaging roughly 3,420 miles per year. While this implies minimal wear on the drivetrain, suspension bushes, and engine internals, such low usage often indicates that the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary. This usage profile shifts the primary mechanical risk from traditional wear-and-tear to degradation caused by inactivity and age. Given the low mileage and periods of standing, the buyer must prioritize physical inspections of components that degrade over time. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for perishing or hairline cracking, as rubber compounds harden and lose grip regardless of tread depth. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, and during the test drive, feel for any brake shudder or listen for binding calipers that may have seized due to lack of frequent use. The 12V battery health should also be verified, as infrequent use can lead to premature voltage drop and failure. It is critical to verify the service history based on the calendar rather than the mileage. Engine oil and other essential fluids degrade through oxidation and moisture accumulation, meaning the vehicle should have adhered to time-based service intervals. Review the service book for stamps confirming annual oil and filter changes to ensure internal engine protection. Additionally, inspect the underbody for any signs of standing corrosion and ensure the EcoBlue engine is brought up to full operating temperature during the test drive to check for any irregular idling or exhaust smoke that could indicate carbon buildup from low-load usage.
