2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CV66 HRD

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in September 2025 at 233,001 miles. The maintenance trend shows a stable pattern where minor wear and tear issues are identified and addressed before they escalate into mechanical failures. While the latest test only flagged a deteriorated front registration plate, the history indicates a consistent cycle of minor consumable and suspension-related advisories, typical for a high-mileage commercial vehicle of this age. The Transit exhibits high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 23,300 miles per year over its ten-year life. A significant surge in usage is evident between September 2024 and September 2025, where the vehicle covered 54,539 miles in a single year. This rapid mileage accumulation suggests heavy commercial application, which places accelerated stress on the drivetrain and structural components. The consistency of the annual testing indicates the vehicle has been in regular use rather than sitting idle for long periods. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as records show recurring worn suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar linkage issues between 2022 and 2023. The tester previously noted a noisy nearside front wheel bearing and thinning brake components in 2021, which should be checked for current signs of play or uneven wear. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion and the integrity of the exhaust system and mounting brackets is essential, as these are the primary failure points for Transits subjected to such heavy annual distances.
