2022 Ford Transit 460 Leader Ecoblue 2.0L Diesel · YS22 BWD

The 2022 Ford Transit 460 Leader Ecoblue is presently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 8 August 2025 at 62,565 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows improvement, as the vehicle moved from a failure at 40,158 miles in May 2024 to a clean pass at 62,565 miles in August 2025, indicating that any earlier issues have been addressed and the current condition is stable. Mileage accumulation is high for a four‑year‑old van, averaging 15,641 miles per year; the jump from 19,631 miles in June 2023 to 40,158 miles in May 2024 represents an increase of 20,527 miles in roughly eleven months, while the subsequent rise to 62,565 miles by August 2025 adds another 22,407 miles in fifteen months, confirming intensive use and accelerated wear on consumables and mechanical components. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, examine the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and verify the structural integrity of the chassis and body panels for rust or corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and sills, as the high mileage and previous failure history suggest these areas may have experienced heightened stress. Although the latest test confirms roadworthiness, the rapid mileage gain and earlier failures imply that a detailed physical examination of the drivetrain, exhaust system, and tyre condition is advisable before purchase, as minor wear can mask emerging faults that the MOT does not capture.
