2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · KS65 ACJ

The vehicle is roadworthy with a clean pass record, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning pattern of repeated failures on the same components. The most recent test on 10 March 2025 at 79,087 miles passed without defects, yet the 2024 test at 282,024 miles and the 2023 test at 278,834 miles both recorded issues with the rear brakes and suspension. This recurring failure on the same components across three consecutive tests indicates an ongoing mechanical problem that was not resolved between the 2023 and 2024 tests. The mileage pattern is relatively stable, with the vehicle accumulating roughly 7,909 miles per year over its 10-year life. The largest gap in mileage occurred between the 2024 test at 282,024 miles and the 2023 test at 278,834 miles, a drop of 3,190 miles in just one year. This suggests the vehicle was not driven extensively during that period, which could indicate long periods of standing or low use. The 2022 test at 265,755 miles shows a similar pattern, with the vehicle accumulating fewer miles than the 2023 test, further supporting the idea of intermittent rather than consistent high-mileage use. A buyer should inspect the rear brakes and suspension components in person, as these were the recurring fault points in the record. The binding rear brakes and suspension issues from the 2023 and 2024 tests indicate that the brake pads and suspension bushes may be worn or damaged, and these components should be thoroughly checked for corrosion, binding calipers, and structural integrity. The clean pass on the 2025 test suggests the vehicle was recently serviced, but the repeated failures on the same components across multiple tests point to a pattern that requires a full mechanical inspection before purchase.
