2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · J14 AAY

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the February 2026 pass at 106,505 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across the three most recent annual tests. The February 2026 record shows a pass and a same-day fail with no defects logged on either entry, a pattern repeated in February 2025 when a fail at 105,330 miles preceded a pass two days later at 105,333 miles. Such paired entries with zero recorded defects typically reflect administrative re-tests rather than mechanical faults, and no advisories or failures with causes appear anywhere in the history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 10,650 per year against a ten-year-old van, which is typical for the model. The records show only 1,172 miles added between January 2024 (104,623) and February 2025 (105,333), then just 1,172 miles again to February 2026 (106,505). This low yearly use over the last two years suggests the Transit spent extended periods stationary, a pattern that can accelerate corrosion and permit seized brakes or perished rubber components despite clean MOT outcomes. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for binding after standing idle. The DVSA data flags no structural integrity issues, exhaust emissions failures, or tyre defects, but the absence of advisories on a 106,000-mile commercial vehicle warrants hands-on checks of steering joints and underbody corrosion. Given the sparse, defect-free history and recent February 2026 certification, the record implies previous owners kept basic statutory testing current though the same-day fail-pass pairs show no evidence of proactive mechanical care beyond the minimum legal requirement.
