2011 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AF11 PVT

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline in structural integrity and mechanical attention. While it passed the most recent test in November 2025 at 134,756 miles, the record reveals significant structural failures that were not present previously. The presence of holed inner and outer sills and the rear inner wing indicates an advanced stage of corrosion that has moved beyond surface rust. The recurring appearance of corroded power steering pipes and anti-roll bar linkages suggests that components are reaching the end of their life. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between September 2021 at 110,661 miles and November 2025 at 134,756 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 24,000 miles at a steady rate. This regular usage suggests the van has been utilized regularly rather than sitting for long periods. However, the consistent mileage has contributed to the steady wear of rubber components and the ongoing oxidation of metalwork across the chassis. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the sills and wing arches to determine the extent of the structural damage, as holed metal often requires expensive welding to ensure long-term safety. The history shows recurring brake pipe corrosion in both 2022 and 2024, necessitating a close check of the entire braking system for thinning walls or leaks. Additionally, the repeated reports of worn anti-roll bar ball joints and the persistent oil leak indicate that preventative maintenance de-prioritized items may require immediate attention to prevent further mechanical failure.
