FORD TRANSIT2016 · 2.2L Diesel

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 7 January 2025 at 158,793 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to January 2021, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is high for a ten year old vehicle, averaging nearly 16,000 miles per year. The record shows significant usage between 2021 and 2024. Specifically, the vehicle covered 19,559 miles between January 2021 and January 2022, and another 18,633 miles between January 2022 and December 2022. The most recent interval from January 2024 to January 2025 saw a further increase of 17,326 miles. This sustained high-mileage usage indicates a life of heavy duty work. While the MOT record is exceptionally clean, the lack of advisories over five years is unusual for a high-mileage Transit. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for wear, as these components typically degrade under such heavy use. Check the brake discs and pads for thinning and inspect the chassis and sills for corrosion, which the MOT tester may have overlooked or which may have developed since the last test eighteen months ago. Given the current date of 12 July 2026, the most recent MOT expired in January 2026. The vehicle is currently overdue for its annual test. A fresh inspection is required to ensure the drivetrain and safety systems remain compliant, as the high mileage increases the likelihood of sudden component failure.
