2022 Ford Transit 350 Trend Ecoblue 2.0L Diesel · YR22 EOV

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness status following a pass on 29 April 2025. However, the maintenance trend shows a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The vehicle failed the test just one day prior at 119,099 miles due to a non-functional offside side repeater and an ineffective windscreen wiper. While these minor issues were rectified, the tester also flagged thin wear on both rear brake pads, which persisted as an advisory on the subsequent pass. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a four-year-old vehicle. Recording 119,100 miles by April 2025 means the Transit averaged nearly 30,000 miles per year. This intensity suggests heavy commercial use or motorway mileage, which places significant strain on drivetrain components, suspension, and brakes. The gap between the failure and the pass was only twenty-four hours, indicating the owner addressed immediate faults to maintain legality, but the high accumulation rate means consumable parts are reaching their service limits rapidly. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the advisory for thin rear pads suggests the discs may also be nearing replacement or showing signs of heat-scoring and thinning. Given the high annual mileage, the suspension should be checked for worn bushes and leaking shock absorbers, which frequently degrade under heavy load cycles. You should also verify the wiper assembly and all lighting clusters to ensure the previous failures remain fully resolved, and inspect the underbody for any signs of corrosion that often accelerate with the 119,000 miles covered since 2022.
