2011 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · GD11 AET

The most recent MOT on 25 October 2022 at 97,502 miles shows a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also logs a failure with no defects noted, a clerical anomaly that suggests an administrative retest rather than a mechanical fault. The maintenance trend across the available record reads as stable, with every completed test from 2018 to 2022 returning a clean result and no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. The mileage pattern is irregular and warrants scrutiny. In the 14 August 2019 test the van recorded 156,800 miles, yet by 25 October 2022 it shows just 97,502 miles, a drop of over 59,000 miles that is physically impossible without a recorded odometer replacement or data error. Prior to that, the van covered roughly 10,600 miles between April 2018 (146,137 miles) and August 2019. The sparse five-entry history with no flagged wear items means the record alone gives little insight into consumable replacement habits, but the conflicting mileages undermine confidence in the stated 97,502 figure. A buyer should physically verify the odometer against service stamps and V5C history to resolve the 2019 to 2022 discrepancy before purchase. Given the vehicle's 15-year age and the clean but thin MOT trail, a hands-on check of structural integrity beneath the chassis and wheel arches is sensible, as Transit bodies of this era commonly suffer hidden corrosion. The tester recorded no binding calipers or worn coil springs, yet brake condition and suspension mountings should still be inspected for age-related degradation not captured in a pass result.
