2011 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CA11 WTP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 170,017 miles passed, it flagged emerging structural corrosion on both front vehicle sections and a minor oil leak. The progression from a major failure in 2023 to minor advisories in 2025 suggests that while critical faults are addressed when identified, the underlying condition of the van is degrading. The mileage pattern is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,334 miles per year. Between August 2023 and August 2024, the vehicle covered 11,370 miles, followed by exactly 10,000 miles in the interval between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This steady accumulation indicates the van has been used regularly rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which explains the wear seen on suspension and steering components typical of a high-mileage Transit. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front chassis areas, as the tester noted corrosion in the 2025 test that has not yet compromised structural rigidity but will likely progress. The mechanical history shows recurring issues with the suspension and steering, specifically involving steering rack gaiters, worn bushes, and a drag link ball joint that were flagged in previous tests. You should verify that the steering rack gaiters have been replaced to prevent internal rack damage and check that the oil leak noted in 2025 is not originating from a critical engine seal.
