FORD TRANSIT2016 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a consistent pattern of wear on suspension components and braking systems. The most recent test in November 2025 at 123,391 miles shows the vehicle passing despite advisories for worn anti-roll bar bushes on both rear sides and front tyres reaching the legal limit. This indicates a stable trend where mechanical issues are addressed only as they approach failure thresholds rather than being replaced as preventative maintenance. The Transit has followed a high-mileage profile, averaging approximately 12,300 miles per year. Between December 2021 at 70,333 miles and November 2025 at 123,391 miles, the vehicle covered over 53,000 miles, representing a rate of roughly 13,250 miles annually. This consistent usage suggests a heavy commercial application, which explains the recurring degradation of rubber-based components like suspension bushes and dust covers noted throughout the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the record flags deteriorated ball joint dust covers and worn lower arm bushes in 2021 and 2024. The recurring mention of worn anti-roll bar pins and bushes across 2022 and 2025 suggests the rear suspension assembly is nearing a stage requiring significant component replacement. Furthermore, the reduced effort from the offside parking brake noted in 2022 and worn rear brake discs in 2021 necessitate a functional check of the brake mechanism and disc thickness to ensure no further thinning has occurred.
