2011 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · HG11 AEK

This vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 30 March 2026 at 183,308 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable and clean, as the record shows no defects or advisories across the last three years of testing. While the vehicle failed its tests on 23 March 2026 and 25 March 2025, the lack of recorded defects suggests these were likely administrative issues or minor faults rectified immediately to secure a pass. The mileage is high for a 2011 model, averaging roughly 12,221 miles per year. The accumulation has remained consistent in recent years, with 2,627 miles added between March 2024 and March 2025, and a further 1,124 miles recorded by the March 2026 test. This steady usage indicates the van has remained in active service rather than sitting idle, which generally helps prevent seals from perishing and brakes from seizing. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage of 183,308 miles necessitates a thorough physical inspection of high-wear components. A buyer should specifically check the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these typically degrade under this level of use. The absence of recorded corrosion in the MOT history is positive, but the chassis and sills should still be inspected for surface rust common to this age of Transit. Attention should also be paid to the drivetrain and braking system. Check for any play in the steering rack and inspect the brake discs for thinning or lipping. Given the mileage, verifying the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements is essential to ensure the engine remains reliable.
