2021 Ford Transit 350 Limited Ecoblue 2.0L Diesel · Y9 RCM

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2026-01-22 confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 89,993 miles. The absence of advisories or failures across all tests—including a near-consecutive pass/fail in January 2025 at 77,602/77,603 miles—suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level without major recurring issues. However, the lack of any recorded advisories or defects does not preclude hidden wear, particularly on high-mileage components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or drivetrain joints, which are not routinely inspected under MOT but degrade predictably over 90,000 miles. The mileage pattern reveals unusually aggressive usage, averaging nearly 18,000 miles annually over five years. This is significantly higher than the UK average for a vehicle of this age, implying consistent heavy or commercial use. The gap between tests—just 12 months apart—aligns with MOT frequency but does not provide insight into intermediate maintenance. The rapid accumulation of miles between 64,188 (December 2023) and 77,603 (January 2025) suggests no prolonged periods of inactivity, which could otherwise mitigate wear. Given the high mileage, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, including rear coil springs and bushes, which often degrade before showing visible signs. The brakes—particularly rear calipers and discs—should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as the 2025 near-fail suggests potential latent issues. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, warrants scrutiny for corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been exposed to salted roads or poor parking conditions. Fluid levels (brakes, power steering, coolant) and drivetrain joints (CV boots, driveshafts) should also be examined, as these are not MOT-tested but critical at this mileage. The absence of MOT advisories does not guarantee these areas are sound.
