2011 FORD TRANSIT2.4L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent MOT data available. The last recorded test on January 27, 2023, at 179,771 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met the minimum safety standards at that time. However, the history shows immediate failures preceding these passes in both 2022 and 2023, suggesting that minor issues were addressed only just before the annual inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a commercial-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year. Between the January 2021 test at 154,952 miles and the January 2022 test at 169,774 miles, the vehicle covered 14,822 miles. Another 9,997 miles were logged between the January 2022 and January 2023 tests. Given that the current date is June 2026, the vehicle has now gone over three years without a recorded successful MOT test, which represents a significant risk regarding the current state of safety-critical components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection because the digital record is now outdated. At nearly 180,000 miles, a Ford Transit of this era is prone to significant structural corrosion, particularly on the rear sills, inner wings, and exhaust mounting points. The buyer should specifically check the suspension bushes, wishbones, and coil springs, which suffer accelerated wear at this mileage level. Because there have been no recorded tests for the last three years, the condition of the brake discs, tyre depth, and exhaust integrity must be verified manually to ensure no major mechanical failures have developed since the 2023 pass.
