2020 Ford Transit 350 Leader Ecoblue 2.0L Diesel · WR20 OCO

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status following its most recent test on July 18, 2023, where it passed at 51,248 miles with no defects recorded. This represents a stable trend following an unexplained failure just four days prior at 51,246 miles. Although the failure record shows no specific defects in the data, the immediate subsequent pass suggests a minor administrative error or a simple component adjustment that was rectified by the owner quickly before the re-test. At 51,248 miles over six years, the Transit has averaged approximately 8,500 miles per year. This usage profile aligns with typical annual expectations for a commercial vehicle of this age, suggesting the engine has not been subjected to excessive heavy load cycles. However, there is a significant gap in the data as the last recorded MOT was conducted nearly three years ago. Without a more recent test record, the vehicle is currently overdue for its inspection, and the current state of its safety-critical components remains unverified by the DVSA framework. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension components and brake system, as these are the most likely areas to suffer on a vehicle that has sat stationary without regular testing. Check for perished rubber bushes and signs of corrosion or seized brake calipers which can occur during periods of low use. Given the lack of recent documentation, a thorough check of the structural integrity and chassis for corrosion is also essential to ensure no significant degradation has developed since the 2023 certification.
