2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · N99 WFS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 103,358 miles passed, it flagged thin rear brake pads and pitted discs across both axles, alongside play in the front anti-roll bar ball joints. This follows a failure in February 2024 for significantly worn rear brakes and fluctuating discs, suggesting that components are only addressed once they reach the point of legal failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical-use commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 10,300 miles per year over its decade. However, there is a notable spike in usage between May 2023 at 73,929 miles and March 2025 at 87,685 miles, where the vehicle covered nearly 14,000 miles in under twenty months. This acceleration continued with another 15,673 miles recorded in the year leading up to the 2026 test, which places higher stress on the suspension and braking systems. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system, as corroded brake pipes were noted in 2024 and 2025, with the tester's comments indicating they may have been greased to hide rust. The suspension history also shows recurring wear, with front suspension arm bushes and droplinks flagged across multiple tests. The slight seepage in the front power steering hose reported in 2025 requires physical verification to ensure it has not progressed into a significant leak, which is a common point of failure on this model at high mileage.
