2016 Ford Transit 350 Heavy oil · CF16 YKV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a consistent maintenance trend over the last several years. The most recent test conducted on 18 August 2025 at 144,052 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that any previous mechanical or safety-related issues have been addressed. This cleanliness suggests the current owner is maintaining the vehicle to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements consistently. The mileage pattern reflects a high-use profile, averaging approximately 14,400 miles per year over its ten-year life. Between June 2024 and August 2025, the vehicle covered 8,101 miles in just fourteen months, which represents a significant usage rate compared to the 6,463 miles recorded between June 2023 and June 2024. This steady accumulation indicates the van has been used for regular commercial duties rather than sitting idle, which typically places more consistent strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. A person-person inspection should focus on the braking system and suspension assembly given the high-mileage history. The February 2021 test at 110,968 miles flagged pitted and scored front brake discs on both the nearside and offside sides; while subsequent tests passed without issue, the buyer should check for current thickness and signs of caliper binding. Given the 144,052 mile reading, scrutinising the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of premature wear or weeping is essential for a transit vehicle subjected to high annual mileage.
