2011 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AF61 LSV

The 2011 Ford Transit presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at the most recent test on 09 May 2024 at 153,583 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. Prior to that, the vehicle passed without fault on 28 January 2023 at 152,254 miles. The only blemish is a failed test on 27 January 2023 at 152,249 miles, though the record shows no defects listed; the immediate retest the next day suggests an administrative or unrecorded minor correction rather than a serious mechanical failure. The mileage pattern sits at roughly 10,239 miles per year, typical for a 15-year-old van. From the 17 December 2021 test at 150,204 miles to the January 2023 pass at 152,254 miles, the vehicle covered just over 2,000 miles in thirteen months, indicating light use in that period. A larger gap then appears before the May 2024 test at 153,583 miles, adding only 1,329 miles across sixteen months. The sparse record shows no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion across any entry, implying the previous keeper kept basic consumable wear within limits. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and hidden corrosion, as MOT passes with no defects do not confirm absence of early-stage rust on sills or chassis rails. The brake discs, coil springs, and suspension arms warrant hands-on checks for fatigue not visible in a clean test. Given the 2023 fail with no listed defect, verify the DVSA reason with the test station to rule out a latent issue the subsequent pass may have masked. The low annual mileage and clean history suggest the van was not worked hard, but standing time invites seized calipers or flat-spotted tyres. Inspect the exhaust emissions system and drivetrain mounts in person before purchase.
