FORD TRANSIT2016 · 2.2L Diesel

The Transit remains roadworthy, with the 20 February 2025 test at 105,931 miles passing with no defects recorded; that examination sits roughly seventeen months before the current date of 14 July 2026. The maintenance trend stays stable across the ledger. The tester failed the van on 9 February 2023 at 91,605 miles and again on 12 February 2024 at 100,522 miles, yet logged zero defects each time before next-day passes. This pattern shows no worsening mechanical fault but flags a procedural irregularity worth clarifying. Mileage accumulation tracks typical use for a 2016 panel van. The record shows 91,605 miles on 9 February 2023, rising to 100,522 miles on 12 February 2024 and 105,931 miles on 20 February 2025. That equates to about 9,000 miles in the first interval and 5,400 in the second, slightly below the implied average of 10,593 per year. No large gaps or sudden accumulation appear; the odometer readings progress linearly with each annual test, suggesting consistent moderate service rather than long periods standing. The official record carries no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, calipers or structural corrosion across any test. Recurring faults are therefore absent from the DVSA history. A buyer should still inspect those components in person, alongside exhaust emissions and underbody integrity, as a decade-old van at 105,931 miles may hide latent wear not captured in a clean MOT pass. The linear mileage progression and clean defect list suggest previous owners kept statutory compliance, though the same-day fail-retest cycle implies occasional poor test preparation rather than skipped consumable upkeep like tyres or wiper blades. Verify the DVSA failure codes before purchase to rule out hidden presentation or identification issues.
