2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CK66 ABN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT history. The October 2024 test at 229,643 miles returned a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a clean result in September 2023 at 222,502 miles, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained sufficiently to meet minimum legal standards without recurring failures in recent years. The mileage accumulation is significant, reflecting a high-intensity usage pattern. Between September 2021 and October 2024, the vehicle covered 78,629 miles. The jump from 151,014 miles in 2021 to 188,166 miles by September 2022 indicates an average annual usage of approximately 22,000 miles. This high mileage is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age and suggests heavy wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and steering linkages. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and underbody for signs of structural corrosion, as high-mileage vans often suffer from heavy oxidation in the rear crossmembers and mounting points. Given the high annual mileage, pay close attention to the condition of the shock absorbers and coil springs, as these components typically reach the end of their service life under such heavy load cycles. The mechanical inspection should also focus on the braking system and exhaust. While the records show no recent issues, the high mileage increases the likelihood of worn brake discs or binding calipers. Check for any signs of oil or coolant leaks around the engine and transmission, as the rapid accumulation of miles puts substantial stress on all seals and gaskets.
