2011 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CK11 XOO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 93,368 miles resulted in a pass, the record shows a persistent failure to address central brake pipe corrosion. This specific issue has appeared in all four recorded tests since August 2024. The trend is stable in terms of passing, but it indicates that the owner is only performing the minimum repairs necessary to clear the inspection rather than resolving the underlying mechanical degradation. At 93,368 miles, the Transit has averaged approximately 6,225 miles per year over its fifteen years, which is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age. However, the data shows a significant gap in usage between August 2024 and July 2025, where the vehicle covered only 1,671 miles in a year, followed by a rapid increase of 3,471 miles in the subsequent eleven months. Such intermittent use often correlates with the accelerated degradation of rubber components and the seizing of braking hardware, which is evidenced by the various brakerelated and binding faults noted in the history. A buyer must thoroughly inspect the braking system and suspension geometry. The tester repeatedly flagged corroded central brake pipes covered in grease, which suggests an attempt to mask structural rust or a failure to replace aging lines. The history also highlights significant suspension wear, including a fractured offside rear leaf spring, corroded coil springs, and a worn suspension arm bush. The July 2025 failure for ABS and electronic stability control indicates that the electronic safety systems may be prone to fault. A physical inspection of the offside front steering pipe for leaks and the condition of the rear wheel bearings is essential to ensure previous faults were properly rectified.
