2016 FORD TRANSIT2.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last four years. The most recent test on July 18, 2025 at 74,218 miles passed with no defects, following a failure just one week prior at the same mileage. This specific sequence suggests a minor mechanical issue that was rectified immediately before the re-test, as the overall history shows no pattern of recurring structural or mechanical failures across previous inspections. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a ten-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per annum. Between the July 2022 test at 46,196 miles and the July 2025 test at 74,218 miles, the vehicle covered 28,022 miles, indicating a steady usage pattern rather than erratic bursts or long periods of neglect. The low mileage relative to the age of the vehicle is generally positive for a Ford Transit, as it reduces the typical wear- associated with high-mileage heavy-duty cycles. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and brake system. While the record shows no recurring advisories, the age of the vehicle makes it susceptible to perished rubber bushes and corroded coil springs which often manifest regardless of mileage. Given the brief failure in July 2025, a close check of the brake calipers for binding or uneven pad wear is advisable to ensure the previous repair was comprehensive. Inspecting the chassis and underside mounting points for structural corrosion remains a standard requirement for this model, though the MOT history has not flagged any integrity issues to date.
