2011 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · LH11 AAV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean MOT pass on September 18, 2025 at 115,200 miles. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a recurring pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both 2024 and 2025, the vehicle failed its initial test only five to six days before a successful presentation. This suggests the previous owner engaged in reactive maintenance, addressing specific faults only when necessary to pass the annual inspection rather than following a proactive preventative service schedule. The mileage profile is consistent with a 15-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 7,680 miles per year. Between the September 2023 and September 2024 tests, the vehicle covered 6,824 miles, while the interval between 2024 and 2025 saw a higher 7,938 miles. This steady usage indicates regular operation, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and components that can suffer due to long periods of standing. The lack of significant mileage gaps suggests the vehicle has been used consistently throughout its lifespan. While the recent tests show no active defects, the repeated failures just prior to passing warrant a close physical inspection of common Transit components. A buyer should specifically examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, as these models are prone to fatigue in these areas. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for structural integrity on the sills and floor pans is essential, as the record does not detail the progression of surface corrosion. You should also check for binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear to ensure that the issues causing the previous mechanical failures were properly rectified rather than merely masked.
