2021 Ford Transit 350 Leader Ecoblue 2.0L Diesel · WN71 OJB

The most recent MOT test on 22 May 2025 at 75,125 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects, following a fail the previous day that also recorded no defects. This pattern suggests the fail was likely a procedural or administrative issue, not a mechanical one, and was rectified immediately. Overall, the maintenance trend appears stable with no recurring faults flagged across the four tests, indicating the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy condition through its recent history. The recorded mileage of 75,125 miles on a 2021 vehicle equates to roughly 15,025 miles per year, which is high for a five-year-old van. The mileage accumulation between the October 2024 test at 70,009 miles and the May 2025 test at 75,125 miles shows a consistent usage rate of about 1,000 miles per month, with no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps. This pattern aligns with regular commercial or heavy-duty use, typical for a Transit. Given the high mileage and the absence of any recorded defects, a buyer should focus on inspecting components that wear with sustained use. Pay close attention to the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of fatigue or corrosion. Brake discs and pads may be nearing replacement intervals, and the drivetrain, including the clutch and gearbox, should be assessed for smooth operation. A thorough check of the exhaust system for corrosion and a professional emissions test are also advisable, as these areas often degrade on high-mileage diesel vans without being flagged in an MOT.
