2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AK02 AKO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection. The November 2025 test at 160,195 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a pattern of successful testing, suggesting that previous issues were addressed effectively. While the vehicle failed two prior tests in November 2023 and November 2024, the most recent data indicates the vehicle is currently maintaining a clean MOT status. The mileage accumulation is significant for a ten-year-old vehicle. Between November 2023 and November 2025, the vehicle covered 28,279 miles, averaging approximately 14,140 miles per year. This sits slightly below the calculated annual average of 16,020 miles but remains high for a light commercial vehicle of this age. This consistent usage pattern suggests regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which typically results in more predictable wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. The recurring failures in November 2023 and November 2024 suggest a history of minor non-compliance that was subsequently rectified. Because the most recent record shows no advisories, the vehicle appears to be in a good state of repair regarding consumables. However, the high cumulative mileage of 160,195 miles necessitates a thorough physical inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion and the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs. A prospective buyer should specifically examine the condition of the braking system and exhaust emissions. Given the high mileage, checking for uneven brake disc wear or binding calipers is prudent. Additionally, the high-use nature of this Transit means the service history should be verified to ensure that oil changes and drivetrain lubrication have been performed according to the manufacturer's schedule to mitigate the risks associated with heavy mileage.
