2011 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · BF61 AXP

This 2011 Ford Transit has covered 162,844 miles, which averages to roughly 10,856 miles per year. This is typical usage for a vehicle of this age, suggesting it hasn't been excessively overworked but also hasn't been sitting idle for long periods. The most recent MOT from November 2025 shows a pass, but the advisory list is concerning. There is a recurring pattern of suspension and steering issues, specifically with the offside front suspension arm bush and play in the nearside steering rack inner joint. The vehicle also shows signs of fluid leaks, including a seepage in the power steering pipe and a non-excessive oil leak. The mechanical condition trend appears to be worsening. While the 2024 MOT focused on brake discs and wipers, the 2025 results show an accumulation of more significant structural and fluid-related issues, such as steering rack play and power steering seepage. The presence of multiple advisories regarding steering and suspension suggests that wear on these components is progressing. You should prioritize a physical inspection of the steering system and the underside of the engine. Specifically, check the steering rack for any excessive movement and inspect the power steering hoses and engine seals to gauge the severity of the reported leaks.
