2011 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AV61 EYL

The most recent MOT test on October 3, 2025, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 203,737 miles. Over the past three annual tests—all passing without fail—there is no evidence of recurring mechanical issues or worsening conditions, suggesting consistent compliance with UK roadworthiness standards. The absence of advisories or defects in the latest test implies the vehicle has not experienced any significant failures in braking, suspension, exhaust, or structural integrity within the past year. However, the single failure in October 2023—though without recorded defects—stands out as an anomaly, though it was rectified before the subsequent pass in September 2022. The recorded mileage of 203,737 miles over 15 years equates to an average of approximately 13,600 miles annually, which is elevated for a vehicle of this age. The gap between tests remains standard at one year, with no extended periods where the vehicle may have been stationary or underused. The rapid accumulation of mileage—particularly the 3,834 miles covered between the failed test in October 2023 and the next pass in September 2022—indicates consistent use, which could accelerate wear on high-stress components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers. The lack of advisories in any test suggests these components were not failing at the time of inspection, but their condition should still be scrutinised given the mileage. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, including the condition of bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these are critical wear items at this mileage. The brakes—particularly rear calipers and discs—should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as the 2023 failure (though unexplained) could hint at a past issue. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, warrants examination for corrosion, which is common in this age range and could compromise safety. Finally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive rust, as emissions systems often fail silently before becoming apparent in an MOT test.
