2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CE16 AAZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 29 May 2025 at 125,136 miles. The record shows a clean bill of health with no defects or advisories noted during the last three annual inspections. While the vehicle failed its tests on 20 May 2025 and 13 May 2024, the lack of recorded defects suggests these were likely administrative failures or minor issues resolved immediately. The mileage is high for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 12,514 miles per year. A significant increase in usage occurred between May 2023 and May 2024, where the odometer rose from 106,039 to 119,110 miles. This represents a yearly increase of over 13,000 miles, indicating the van has been used heavily for commercial purposes. The mileage remained static at 125,136 miles between the May 2025 failure and pass, suggesting the vehicle may have been stationary during that period. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage necessitates a physical inspection of high wear components. A buyer should specifically check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these frequently degrade on heavily used Transits. The absence of advisories on brake discs and pads is positive, but the actual remaining thickness should be verified given the total mileage. Priority should be given to inspecting the chassis and underbody for corrosion. The MOT record does not flag structural integrity issues, but commercial vehicles of this age often suffer from hidden rust in the sills and load area. Checking for oil leaks around the engine and gearbox is also advisable to ensure the drivetrain has been maintained alongside the basic roadworthiness requirements.
