2021 Ford Transit 350 Leader Ecoblue 2.0L Diesel · YM70 BWA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having achieved a clean MOT pass on 29 January 2026 at 146,596 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the only recorded defect in the previous year was addressed before the most recent test. The absence of advisories in the latest inspection suggests that the current owner is reactive to mechanical requirements rather than allowing minor faults to accumulate into failures. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 29,300 miles per year. Between February 2024 at 92,791 miles and February 2025 at 117,307 miles, the vehicle covered over 24,000 miles in twelve months. The further accumulation of 29,289 miles between the February 2025 and January 2026 tests indicates continued heavy, consistent use. This rate of operation accelerates wear on heavy-duty components like suspension bushings and the drivetrain. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the nearside drive shaft CV boot which was flagged for severe deterioration in 2025. While the vehicle passed since, high mileage vans often suffer from secondary wear in rubber components and grease seals. You should check for grease leakage around the wheel hubs and inspect the integrity of the suspension arms and shocks. Given the rapid mileage, the condition of the brake discs and the thickness of the pads are critical, as these components are likely nearing the end of their service life under such heavy loads.
