2011 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CX11 XRC

The Ford Transit presents as roadworthy following the most recent pass on 29 January 2026 at 102,707 miles, with a stable maintenance trend across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared that test with no defects logged, though it had failed three days earlier on 26 January 2026 at 102,682 miles under a no-defects entry, a pattern repeated in December 2024 when it failed on the 9th at 98,556 miles before passing on the 15th with no faults noted. Such paired fail-pass entries with zero recorded defects suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than progressive mechanical decline. Mileage sits at 102,707 against a 2011 build, averaging roughly 6,847 miles per year, which is typical for a light commercial of this age. The gap between the 6 November 2023 test at 92,946 miles and the December 2024 tests at 98,556 miles shows about 5,600 miles over thirteen months, then only 4,151 miles to January 2026. The record is sparse, with just five entries and no advisories or faults ever flagged, so the data gives little insight into wear on consumables or structure. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's fifteen years and the absence of any recorded advisories that might otherwise track wear. The repeated no-defect failures without listed reasons mean the DVSA record cannot confirm whether binding calipers, exhaust emissions, or corrosion were ever informally raised. Verify structural integrity underneath and check for rust on chassis members before purchase. Given the clean but thin history, treat the MOT as evidence of basic compliance rather than proof of care. The previous keepers logged passes with no advisories across three years, yet the twin fail-pass clusters hint at lax pre-test preparation. Inspect tyres, wiper blades, and underbody condition on the day to confirm the roadworthiness the January 2026 certificate claims.
