2022 Ford Transit 350 Limited Ecoblue 2.0L Diesel · SO71 FTA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 31 January 2026. The maintenance trend shows a period of immediate rectification following a mechanical failure just one day prior. While the vehicle initially failed at 112,938 miles due to poor parking brake efficiency on the offside rear, the subsequent pass at 74 miles later indicates that the fault was addressed to meet DVSA standards. The mileage profile reflects heavy commercial use, with the vehicle covering 113,012 miles in approximately four years. Between the January 2025 test at 87,896 miles and the January 2026 test, the van clocked 25,116 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation suggests consistent long-distance operation, which is typical for a Ford Transit fleet vehicle. Such high mileage places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking systems compared to lower-mileage examples. An in-person inspection should focus on the parking brake system to ensure the offside rear drum or mechanism is not prone to recurring adjustment issues. Given the high mileage, the buyer must also check for signs of premature wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, which frequently degrade under heavy loads. A thorough check of the brake discs and pads for thinning or uneven wear is essential, as the recent efficiency failure suggests the braking system is already under significant strain.
