Our Verdict
This 2011 Ford Transit presents a mixed
When inspecting this Transit, examine the service history to see if the recurring oil leak noted in every MOT test from 2021 to 2025 has been investigated or repaired. Check all exterior lighting carefully, as discoloured indicators and non-working stop lamps have appeared multiple times in the test records. Negotiate on the price if these persistent minor defects or the perishable nearside front tyre noted in 2025 have not been addressed prior to sale.
Running costs for a 2011 2.1-litre diesel Ford Transit will depend heavily on commercial usage and insurance classifications. Fuel economy for this engine variant is generally acceptable for a van of this size, though older diesel models typically fall into higher VED tax bands compared to modern equivalents. Maintenance costs should account for potential remediation of the noted oil leak and suspension component wear, such as the ball joint dust cover deterioration recorded in 2024.
Pay close attention to the underside of the engine bay to locate the source of the non-excessive oil leak recorded consistently across the 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 MOT tests. Inspect the nearside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover, which was flagged as severely deteriorated in 2024, to ensure it has been replaced. Additionally, test all indicator lenses for discolouration and verify the operation of all brake and stop lamps, which have repeatedly drawn advisory notices.
First registered in April 2011, this white Ford Transit features a 2198cc diesel engine and has covered just 40,289 miles by September 2025. This sits significantly below the model average annual mileage, which is reflected in its light usage history. However, MOT records from 2021 to 2025 reveal consistent advisory notes regarding minor oil leaks and lighting issues, indicating areas that will require monitoring.
The Ford Transit has an average MOT pass rate of 74.4% across over 735,000 analysed vehicles, with headlamps, corrosion, and tyres serving as the top failure reasons.
