2022 Ford Transit 350 Leader Ecoblue 2.0L Diesel · WV22 VEF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 5 March 2026 with 73,580 miles. This clean result indicates an improving maintenance trend following a mechanical failure in the previous year. The absence of any defects in the latest report suggests that the specific brake-related issues identified previously have been addressed and that the vehicle currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. The mileage profile reflects high usage for a four-year-old van, averaging approximately 18,400 miles per annum. Between the February 2025 test and the March 2026 test, the vehicle covered 21,357 miles in just thirteen months. This rapid accumulation suggests consistent long-distance use or heavy commercial operation, which accelerates the wear on suspension components, drivetrain bushings, and braking hardware compared to lower-mileage fleet vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the 2025 failure at 52,223 miles highlighted an offside rear brake pad reading under 1.5mm and a pitted or scored disc. While the 2026 pass shows these were rectified, a manual check should verify that the replacement parts were of sufficient quality and that the caliper is not binding. Given the high annual mileage, an inspection of the front wish arm bushes and shock absorbers is necessary to check for play or leaks, as these components frequently degrade under the heavy loads typical of a Transit 350.
