2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CP16 XNW

This 2016 Ford Transit has covered approximately 10,200 miles annually, which is a typical usage pattern for a commercial vehicle of this age. However, there is a significant anomaly in the 2023 MOT record, which shows a jump to 142,762 miles before dropping back to 93,482 miles in 2024. This suggests either a clerical error at the testing station or a potential odometer replacement, both of which require thorough investigation into the vehicle's service history and V5C documentation. The vehicle's mechanical condition appears to be worsening. While the van passed its most recent MOT in April 2026, it accumulated six advisories, indicating that maintenance has begun to lag. The recurring issue with pitted and scored brake discs across the last two inspections suggests that the braking system is nearing the end of its service life and will likely require a full overhaul soon. The recent advisories regarding the deteriorated CV boot and suspension ball joint dust cover are typical for a high-mileage Transit, but they point to neglected rubber components that protect critical moving parts. If left unaddressed, these will lead to premature failure of the drive shaft and steering linkage, resulting in much higher repair costs than the parts themselves. The seepage from the power steering pipe and the corrosion on the rear brake hose ferrule are red flags that suggest the vehicle may have been exposed to harsh conditions or extended periods of damp storage. These items are safety-critical and should not be ignored.
