2011 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · GX11 AAY

The vehicle currently holds a clean MOT status following its most recent test on 10 February 2026 at 29,054 miles, which showed no defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to the previous year. In February 2025, the vehicle failed on multiple tyre age issues and parking brake efficiency, subsequently passing with advisories for binding rear brakes. The absence of any recorded defects in the latest 2026 inspection suggests that the previous braking and tyre issues have been addressed. The mileage profile indicates exceptionally low usage for a 2011 vehicle, averaging approximately 1,937 miles per year. The data shows a consistent, slow accumulation of mileage, rising from 15,924 miles in January 2015 to 29,054 miles in February 2026. While low mileage reduces drivetrain wear, the history reveals that this vehicle has likely spent significant periods stationary. This is evidenced by the recurring issues with brake disc corrosion and pitting, which appeared in almost every test from 2015 through 2022, and the 2023 report of a damp steering rack gaiter and corroded power steering hose. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and steering components. Although the 2026 test was clear, the long-term pattern of pitted rear brake discs and binding calipers suggests that the vehicle is prone to moisture-related corrosion due to infrequent use. The 2023 advisory regarding a damp steering rack gaiter and corroded power steering hose warrants close scrutiny to ensure no active fluid leaks or progressive structural degradation of the steering assembly exist. The history also highlights previous failures regarding seat belt integrity and ABS wiring security. While these specific faults were cleared in subsequent tests, the buyer should verify that all rear seat belt mechanisms operate smoothly and that the ABS wiring is securely routed. Given the age of the vehicle and the low annual mileage, checking for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and various hoses, is advisable to mitigate risks associated with long-term standing.
