2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CP16 TKN

The 2016 Ford Transit presents a clean MOT history over the past three years, with the most recent test on 15 July 2025 at 111,832 miles showing no defects—an outcome mirrored in the three preceding annual inspections. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained within the MOT framework, with no recurring advisories or failures to indicate deteriorating mechanical integrity. The sole anomaly is the duplicate entry for 4 July 2023 at 99,150 miles , where the vehicle was both passed and failed on the same date—a clerical irregularity rather than a technical issue. There is no evidence of worsening trends; suspension, brakes, or structural components have not been flagged, and the absence of defects in recent tests implies the Transit has met all DVSA thresholds for roadworthiness up to the present. Mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 11,183 miles per year —a rate that neither suggests excessive wear nor prolonged neglect. The gap between the 2023 and 2022 tests (99,150 vs. 91,251 miles) covers just under 8,000 miles over a year, while the subsequent 12-month span to 2025 (111,832 miles) shows a slightly higher but still reasonable increase of around 6,174 miles. There are no red flags in the mileage pattern to suggest abuse or disuse; the data instead reflects steady, moderate usage typical of a commercial or fleet vehicle. The lack of detailed mileage increments beyond annual MOTs means minor fluctuations in daily driving cannot be assessed, but the overall trend remains stable. For a prospective buyer, the absence of defects in recent MOTs reduces immediate concerns, but a thorough pre-purchase inspection should still verify key areas. Pay particular attention to suspension bushes and coil springs , as these are common wear points in Transit models and may not always be caught in standard MOT checks. Check for brake binding or uneven disc wear , especially if the vehicle has been used in stop-start traffic, and inspect exhaust mounts and silencers for corrosion or leaks, given the Transit’s propensity for rust in high-moisture environments. While the MOT history is reassuring, structural integrity—such as sill corrosion or frame integrity —should be examined closely, particularly if the vehicle has been garaged in salty or humid conditions. Tyre condition and tread depth should also be verified, as these are consumables not always recorded in MOTs but critical for safety.
