2016 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CK66 ADX

The 2016 Ford Transit presents a remarkably clean MOT record, with the most recent test on 11 October 2025 at 74,958 miles resulting in a first-time pass and zero defects. No advisories or failures appear anywhere in the vehicle’s five-year testing history. This unbroken sequence of passes points to a stable maintenance pattern and a vehicle that has been kept in consistently roadworthy condition. The mileage progression reveals an unusual jump between the 2023 test at 41,193 miles and the 2024 test at 50,087 miles, followed by a much sharper increase to 74,958 miles by October 2025. That represents nearly 25,000 miles covered in a single year, a significant acceleration compared to the earlier annual averages of around 10,000 miles. While the van remains below typical mileage for its age, the recent high-intensity use means components such as the timing belt, clutch, and diesel particulate filter may have experienced accelerated wear that the MOT inspection alone cannot quantify. A blank advisory sheet across five consecutive tests is rare for a commercial vehicle of this age. It suggests diligent ownership and prompt rectification of any emerging faults before they reached MOT-reportable thresholds. The absence of even minor items like tyre wear, brake pad thinning, or suspension bush deterioration indicates the van never presented borderline consumables at the time of inspection. A physical appraisal should still verify the current state of the brake discs and pads, examine the suspension for any play in ball joints or control arm bushes, and confirm the condition of the rear leaf springs and shackles, which are common wear points on Transits. Given the recent mileage surge, checking the service history for evidence of a cambelt replacement and regular oil changes is essential to validate the apparently faultless MOT record.
