2011 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AP59 AAP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by its most recent MOT result. The test conducted on 09 January 2026 at 170,883 miles showed no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure was recorded earlier on 13 January 2025, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the owner addressed the necessary repairs promptly. Since that period, the Transit has maintained a consistent passing record over the last two years. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a fifteen-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 11,400 miles per annum. Between January 2023 and January 2024, the vehicle covered 3,952 miles, followed by another 3,511 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This steady usage suggests regular operational patterns rather than long periods of neglect or sudden heavy overloading. The lack of significant spikes in mileage indicates that the mechanical components have likely been subjected to predictable wear cycles throughout their life. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear areas typical of the Transit model, despite the clean MOT history. The absence of advisories in the January 2026 test is notable for a vehicle of this age, but a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion on the members and floor pans remains essential. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or perished rubber. Given the mileage, checking the condition of the brake discs and calipers is also necessary to ensure no significant binding or uneven thinning is developing beyond the standard test parameters.
