2011 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CK61 WKZ

The vehicle presents a worsening maintenance trend characterized by increasing frequency of failures and recurring mechanical defects. Although the most recent test on 21 May 2026 at 116,276 miles resulted in a pass, the vehicle failed earlier that same day on several items including a non-working high-level stop lamp, corroded offside front brake pipe, and worn front tyres. The history shows a shift from clean records between 2016 and 2021 to a series of increasingly complex failures involving lighting, braking systems, and structural integrity. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,752 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, moving from 91,381 miles in December 2021 to 116,276 miles by May 2026. There are no significant gaps in the testing chronology, but the density of advisory items and failures has increased significantly as the vehicle has surpassed the 100,000-mile mark, suggesting that component fatigue is becoming more prevalent. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the chassis and structural components. The tester flagged significant corrosion in the March 2024 test, noting that the offside front integral body structure and nearside rear inner suspension mounting were excessively corroded. While the May 2026 test noted that structural rigidity was not significantly reduced, the presence of ongoing corrosion indicates a long-term issue that requires close monitoring. The recurring mention of an oil leak since at least March 2024 also warrants a physical check to determine the source and severity. The braking system and drivetrain also require attention. The offside front brake pipe has been noted as corroded and covered in grease since July 2025, and the rear brake discs and pads have shown consistent wear across multiple tests. Additionally, the history of split CV boots and loose exhaust components suggests that minor consumable items are frequently neglected until they reach a failure threshold. Any inspection should include a check of the suspension bushes, drive shaft boots, and the condition of the brake lines to ensure they are not nearing a critical failure point.
