2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · C2 LTE

The 2016 Ford Transit presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the most recent examination. The tester passed the vehicle with no defects recorded on 2 April 2026 at 125,398 miles, a result sitting just over three months before the current evaluation date. Maintenance trend across the supplied records remains stable, with every annual test from March 2022 through April 2026 returning a pass and zero advisories. No worsening mechanical issues or recurring faults appear in the data. Mileage accumulation sits high for a ten-year-old van, averaging roughly 12,540 miles per year against the recorded 125,398 miles. The records show consistent yearly use rather than sudden spikes. Between 28 March 2022 at 114,456 miles and 29 March 2023 at 121,534 miles the vehicle covered 7,078 miles, then slowed to 2,117 miles by 6 April 2024 at 123,651 miles, 629 miles by 7 April 2025 at 124,280 miles, and 1,118 miles by 2 April 2026. Such low recent annual distances suggest lighter commercial duty or periods of standing in the last three years, yet the odometer still reflects overall high total wear. The absence of flagged items means the DVSA tests did not note corrosion, suspension bush wear, brake disc scoring, or exhaust emission failures at any interval. Previous owners evidently kept the Transit to a standard that cleared each examination without minor consumable warnings such as tyre tread or wiper blade defects. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity beneath the chassis, given Transit bodies suffer from rust at sill and spring mount areas with age. Examine coil springs, binding calipers, and steering joints closely despite the clean paper history. In-person checks should prioritise drivetrain condition given the 125k mileage, alongside verification of service records absent from this MOT summary. The stable test outcomes imply disciplined upkeep, but high total miles demand scrutiny of clutch, turbo, and suspension components that MOT tests may not reveal under light workshop loading.
