2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CX16 NDC

Chronic corrosion of the braking system and recurring suspension wear define the mechanical history of this vehicle. While it passed its most recent test on 23 January 2026, the record shows a deteriorating trend regarding the brake pipes, which progressed from advisories in 2024 and 2025 to major failures for excessive corrosion across the nearside front, offside front, and offside rear lines in early 2026. This pattern of degradation is coupled with persistent advisories regarding front suspension arm bushes and pitting on both front and rear brake discs. The recorded mileage of 109,062 miles is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 10,906 miles per year. This typical accumulation rate suggests a steady workload, which aligns with the observed wear on high-stress consumables. The presence of multiple failures and advisories since 2023 indicates that the vehicle has been subject to standard operational wear and tear associated with this mileage, particularly affecting the drivetrain boots and braking components. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system and front-end geometry. Given the recent major failures for corroded brake pipes and the current advisories for pitted and scored discs, a test drive should focus on any pedal judder or a lack of firm response during deceleration. The recurring advisories for worn suspension arm pins and bushes on both the nearside and offside front suggest a need for inspection; listen for knocks or clunks when traversing uneven surfaces or during low-speed steering maneuvers. The vehicle's history includes multiple failures for split constant velocity boots on both the nearside and offside front drive shafts. It is essential to verify that these have been replaced and that no grease leakage is present. Any clicking sounds emanating from the front wheels during tight turns would indicate that the underlying joints may have been compromised by the previously recorded boot failures.
