2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AF16 OGU

The 2016 Ford Transit presents a stable and favourable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 7 November 2025 at 119,792 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. The maintenance record shows no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage, indicating consistent upkeep by previous keepers. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old van. The record shows 82,681 miles at the 11 November 2022 test, rising to 98,779 by 18 November 2023, then 112,560 on 20 November 2024, and 119,792 by November 2025. That equates to roughly 12,000 miles per year with no sudden accumulation spikes or unexplained gaps. The only anomaly is a failed entry logged on 11 November 2022 at 82,675 miles, immediately followed by a pass at 82,681 miles the same day with no defects cited, which suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Given the absence of recorded advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion, the underlying mechanical condition appears sound for its age and use. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the chassis for hidden rust, check the condition of tyres and wiper blades as consumables, and verify the service history independently. The clean MOT trail implies the previous owners addressed wear before each test, but DVSA tests do not cover engine internals or gearbox health. No recurring defects appear in the data to suggest worsening trends. The van's history supports a low-risk purchase from a documentation standpoint, provided an independent pre-sale check confirms the live condition matches the paper record.
