2022 Ford Transit 350 Trend Ecoblue 2.0L Diesel · YP22 TZC

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-01 recorded a pass at 85,780 miles, but the same vehicle failed just one day earlier on 2026-04-30 with two critical issues: offside rear outer brake pads less than 1.5 mm thick (a safety risk) and nearside rear outer tyre worn close to legal limit with cracks . This suggests urgent repair needs, as brake pad thickness below 1.5 mm is a severe defect requiring immediate attention. A recurring pattern of tyre wear and damage is evident. The 2025-05-02 MOT noted a slightly damaged/cracking nearside rear outer tyre , and the 2026-05-01 MOT highlighted the same tyre again, now worn to the legal limit and cracked. This indicates consistent neglect or improper maintenance, potentially leading to sudden failure. The brake pad issue in 2026-04-30 is a new defect, signaling worsening mechanical condition. The trend shows worsening risks : tyre damage persisted and escalated, while a critical brake component failed. The 2026-04-30 failure suggests the vehicle was not properly maintained between 2025 and 2026, despite the 2025 MOT being a pass. The high mileage (85,780 miles over 4 years, ~21,445 miles annually) implies frequent use, which can accelerate wear on tyres, brakes, and suspension. However, the short interval between the 2026-04-30 failure and 2026-05-01 pass raises questions about whether repairs were completed before the retest.
