2022 Ford E Transit 350 Leader

CarHunch analysed 1,129 real MOT records for the 2022 Ford E Transit 350 Leader. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2022 Ford E-Transit 350 Leader falls slightly short of the UK average with a 77.9% first-time pass rate against the 80% benchmark, suggesting a small reliability weakness—though the 7.8% dangerous defect rate is reassuringly low and well below concern territory. These early MOT results reflect typical teething issues for a newer model, nothing systemic.

At just under 37,800 miles average, these vehicles are still running low mileage for their age, which means real-world durability over the long term remains unproven. The modest failure rate of 0.38 per vehicle and advisory count of 1.4 suggest minor rather than serious issues, but if you're buying one used, budget for a pre-purchase inspection to catch small electrical or brake gremlins before they accumulate.

What to check before buying a 2022 Ford E Transit 350 Leader

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
