2011 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CV61 VWY

The Ford Transit passed its most recent MOT on 25 February 2022 at 173,543 miles with no defects recorded, so the available history shows a stable maintenance trend and no outstanding advisories at that point. Given the test sits over four years behind today's date of 8 July 2026, the vehicle's current roadworthiness cannot be confirmed from this record alone. The recorded mileage of 173,543 at the 2022 test equates to roughly 11,570 miles per year across the van's fifteen years, which is typical use for a Transit of this age and suggests steady service rather than standing idle or excessive fleet accumulation. The single MOT entry provides no evidence of rapid mileage jumps or notable gaps in testing, but the sparse record leaves four years of unwitnessed use unaccounted for. A buyer should commission a fresh MOT and physical inspection before purchase, focusing on structural integrity and corrosion around chassis rails and sills given the age and unknown storage conditions since 2022. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant close measurement, as these consumables on a 2011 van will have degraded through normal wear even if the last tester logged nothing. The clean 2022 result implies the previous owner kept basic upkeep current to that date, yet the absence of any advisories means no early-warning wear was flagged for the components now due scrutiny. Treat the 173,543-mile figure as a floor, not a guarantee, and verify actual odometer reading against the four-year dormancy in the test history.
