2016 FORD TRANSIT2.2L Diesel

This Ford Transit presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent record of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 23 May 2025 at 134,746 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a three-year trend of flawless test results, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is high for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 13,475 miles per year. The accumulation has been rapid and steady, with 13,687 miles added between May 2023 and May 2024, and a further 13,742 miles added by the May 2025 test. This level of usage suggests the vehicle has been used heavily for commercial purposes, which typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components and suspension bushings. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage necessitates a targeted physical inspection. The absence of recorded defects does not account for the gradual degradation of consumables. A buyer should specifically check the condition of the brake discs and pads, as well as the health of the suspension coil springs and dampers, which often fatigue under high-mileage commercial use. Attention should also be paid to the chassis and underbody for signs of corrosion, particularly in areas prone to rust on this model. While the MOT tester has not flagged structural integrity issues up to May 2025, the combination of age and high mileage makes a manual check for surface rust or pitting essential to ensure long-term viability.
