2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CC15 BBB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT history. The November 2025 test at 65,940 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester noted a damaged nearside front windscreen and a defective offside front side repeater lens. While these are non-critical advisories, they indicate a slight shift from the clean results seen in 2022 and 2023. The maintenance trend shows a transition from a period of zero defects to more frequent minor consumable issues. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a light-use commercial vehicle. The vehicle has covered 65,940 miles over approximately ten years, averaging roughly 6,600 miles annually. Between the December 2024 test at 50,529 miles and the November 2025 test at 65,940 miles, the van covered 15,411 miles, which represents a noticeable increase in usage compared to the previous year. This recent uptick in annual mileage suggests the vehicle is being used more intensively than in its earlier years. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and exterior trim. The December 2024 test flagged thinning front brake pads, and the November 2020 test noted wearing rear brake pads, suggesting a pattern of consumable wear that requires monitoring. The 2019 record highlighted leaking rear axle seals, so a physical inspection of the rear axle area for fresh oil residue or weeping is necessary to ensure this issue was permanently rectified. Finally, the recurring mention of defective side repeater lenses since 2018 suggests minor electrical or trim maintenance has been overlooked. While the windscreen damage noted in 2024 and 2025 is not currently a failure, it indicates stone chips or impact damage that may require replacement soon. The lack of structural corrosion or suspension failures in the records is a positive indicator of the vehicle's underlying integrity.
