2011 Ford Transit 115 T350L RWD Diesel · BL60 FTA

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 19 December 2023 at 217,814 miles where no defects were recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the record shows a failure just five days prior to that pass at 217,776 miles. While the specific reason for that failure is not detailed, the immediate retest suggests the owner rectified a minor issue or consumable item to ensure the vehicle met the annual testing requirements. The mileage profile reflects consistent heavy commercial use typical of a Ford Transit of this age, averaging approximately 14,500 miles per annum. Between 10 December 2021 and 19 December 2022, the vehicle covered 13,503 miles, indicating a high-frequency operational cycle. The high mileage of over 217,000 miles places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. The lack of MOT data since December 2023 suggests the vehicle has not been tested for eighteen months, making the current roadworthiness status overdue. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension assembly, as high-mileage Transits frequently suffer from corrosion on the chassis members and rear arches. Examine the wear on the coil springs, control arm bushes, and shock absorbers for signs of play. Given the high mileage, checking the braking system for binding calipers or excessive thinness on the discs is essential. Because the MOT history does not list recurring mechanical failures, a thorough check of the engine leaks and exhaust system is necessary to ensure the high-mileage powertrain has not reached the end of its service life.
