2025 Ford Transit 350 Trend Ecoblue Diesel · WN75 VCX

The vehicle has no recorded MOT history on the DVSA database, which means there is no recent test outcome to reference. In the absence of any documented pass, fail, or advisory entries, it is impossible to judge whether the maintenance trend is stable, deteriorating or improving; the lack of a formal inspection itself is a point of concern for a prospective buyer and should be clarified before proceeding. The model year is 2025, making the van just over one year old as of September 2026. No mileage figure has been supplied, so an assessment of annual usage cannot be quantified. For a light commercial vehicle of this class, a typical annual run‑rate would be in the region of 10‑15 000 miles; any figure substantially above that would suggest accelerated wear on the engine, transmission, suspension and brake components, while a very low or unrecorded mileage could indicate limited use but also raises the possibility of age‑related degradation of rubber and fluid systems despite low mileage. Request a verified odometer reading and, if possible, service book entries to establish a realistic usage pattern. Given the absence of MOT data and an unknown mileage, a thorough visual and tactile inspection is essential. Examine all four tyres for sidewall cracking, dry rot or loss of tread depth; the DOT code on the tyre sidewall will reveal the date of manufacture and, if the tyres are older than six years, they should be considered for replacement regardless of tread. Check the wheel rims for corrosion or bent edges that could affect balance. Inspect the battery terminals for corrosion, assess the electrolyte level if it is a serviceable type, and consider a load test to confirm capacity, as a one‑year‑old van that has been stored may have a weakened charge. Look for any signs of fluid leaks – oil, coolant, brake fluid or power‑steering fluid – around the engine bay, under the chassis and at the rear axle, and verify that the oil, coolant and brake fluid are clear and at the correct levels; fluids degrade with time even when the vehicle is not driven heavily. Finally, scrutinise the suspension and steering components for worn bushings, cracked mounts or excessive play in the ball joints and tie‑rod ends, which can manifest as clunking or vague wandering during a low‑speed test drive. Test the brakes for even pedal feel, absence of shudder and consistent pad wear; surface rust on the discs is normal after a period of inactivity but should not be so severe that it compromises friction. Verify that the exhaust system is free of cracks, holes or excessive rust, and that the emission control devices, particularly the diesel particulate filter on an EcoBlue engine, have not been subjected to prolonged idling that could cause blockage. A full service history, recent oil change and a fresh MOT before purchase would provide the most reliable assurance of roadworthiness.
