2011 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · CT60 DFY

This 2011 Ford Transit has covered 216,900 miles, averaging roughly 14,460 miles per year. This is a high-mileage vehicle that has clearly been used as a working van, resulting in significant wear across the drivetrain, suspension, and structural components. The vehicle’s condition is clearly worsening. The MOT history shows a recurring and escalating pattern of structural corrosion, specifically regarding the inner and outer sills being holed. While these have been noted as being outside of the 30cm prescribed area for years, the persistence of this rot suggests the vehicle is suffering from systemic corrosion that will eventually compromise the structural integrity of the chassis. Beyond the bodywork, the mechanical health is declining. The recent MOT history shows a high frequency of failures related to brake pipes, suspension bushes, and oil leaks. The transition from an advisory for an oil leak to a failure for excessive leaking indicates that the engine and ancillaries are struggling under the high mileage. The prop shaft bearing play and worn brake discs further confirm that the drivetrain is reaching the end of its reliable life without significant investment. The high mileage relative to the age of the vehicle suggests it has been subjected to heavy commercial use.
