2016 FORD TRANSIT2.2L DIESEL

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a clean pass in December 2025 at 92,349 miles. This recent result indicates immediate roadworthiness, contrasting with earlier history where maintenance issues required monitoring. The progression from recorded advisories in 2022 and 2023 to consecutive defect-free passes suggests previous owners addressed underlying faults or that component wear has stabilized within acceptable limits. Annual testing intervals remain consistent throughout the five-year record, reflecting regular use without significant gaps indicating extended lay-up periods. Mileage accumulation averages approximately 9,000 miles per annum, aligning with typical commercial expectations for a vehicle of this class. The jump from 71,747 miles in July 2023 to 84,132 miles the following December suggests a period of heavier utilization before settling back to normal levels. This steady consumption pattern implies standard drivetrain stress rather than erratic operation or neglect. Inspectors should verify the condition of front suspension components given the repeated advisories regarding worn bushes and pins in 2022. The offside rear tyre wear noted in July 2023 often correlates with alignment issues stemming from those same suspension faults. Although the wheel bearing noise and CV boot deterioration flagged in 2023 did not recur as failures, physical checks on the nearside drive shaft boot integrity and front hub rotation remain prudent. A professional pre-purchase inspection would confirm whether these items were replaced during service intervals or if residual play exists within the steering geometry.
