2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · YS16 AAY

This Ford Transit presents an exceptionally stable maintenance profile. The most recent MOT on 27 November 2025 at 78,759 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive years of passes without a single advisory or failure, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage is typical for a ten year old commercial vehicle, averaging roughly 7,876 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the recorded period, growing from 54,664 miles in November 2021 to 78,759 miles by November 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or sudden heavy use. Because the MOT history is devoid of any flagged faults, there are no recurring mechanical trends to warn against. The absence of advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions over five years is uncommon for a Transit of this age. It suggests the previous owner prioritised preventative maintenance rather than reacting only to test failures. A physical inspection should still focus on common age related wear that MOT testers sometimes overlook if it does not meet a failure threshold. Check the condition of the clutch and the smoothness of the gear transitions. Inspect the chassis and wheel arches for surface corrosion, as the clean MOT record confirms structural integrity but does not account for cosmetic rust. Verify the service history for oil and filter changes to ensure the engine has been cared for beyond the basic annual roadworthiness tests.
