2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · LG16 ACJ

The 2025‑04‑15 MOT at 150,172 miles confirms the 2016 Ford Transit remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded and a maintenance trend that is stable and improving. All subsequent tests from March 2022 through April 2025 have passed without any noted faults, indicating consistent upkeep after the single failure in March 2022. Mileage has risen from 112,702 miles in the March 2022 failure to 150,172 miles in the April 2025 test, an accumulation of 37,470 miles in just over three years, averaging about 12,500 miles per year, which is high for a ten‑year‑old vehicle. The interval between the 2022 failure and the next pass was only 536 miles, but later gaps widened to 14,203 miles by April 2023 and 14,612 miles by March 2024, showing rapid mileage build‑up. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, check the rear and front brake calipers for binding, inspect brake discs for scoring or excessive wear, and look for structural rust on chassis rails, wheel arches and the underbody, as these components are prone to fatigue under high mileage. Additionally, the exhaust system should be assessed for corrosion and compliance with emissions standards, and the structural integrity of the bodywork verified. While the consecutive passes suggest consistent servicing, the high annual mileage indicates accelerated wear on consumables such as tyres and wiper blades, so a physical inspection of tyre tread depth, brake pad thickness and suspension condition is essential before purchase.
