2022 Ford Transit 350 Leader Ecoblue 2.0L Diesel · WV71 SBO

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test on 17 December 2025 at 33,131 miles, where it passed with no defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to the previous year. The transition from a failure to a clean pass indicates that the specific mechanical issues identified in late 2024 were addressed and rectified prior to the subsequent annual inspection. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a typical usage cycle for a light commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per annum. Between the December 2024 and December 2025 tests, the vehicle covered 8,700 miles, showing regular use rather than long periods of stationary storage which can lead to brake seal degradation or fuel system issues. The relatively low total mileage for a four-year-old Transit suggests that the drivetrain and suspension components should still have significant life remaining. While the most recent record is clean, the failure on 16 December 2024 at 24,431 miles warrants a closer look. Since the record does not detail the specific reasons for that initial failure, a buyer should verify the condition of common wear points such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust mounting. Inspect the underside for any signs of early corrosion or fluid leaks to ensure that the previous failure was not symptomatic of a deeper structural issue that might recur as the mileage increases.
