2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CX16 YFF

The 2016 Ford Transit presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 13 June 2025 at 101,354 miles which recorded no defects. Prior to that, the 7 June 2024 test at 99,268 miles also passed clean. The vehicle shows no escalating faults across the available record. Recorded mileage sits at 101,354 against a ten-year life, averaging roughly 10,135 miles per year which is typical for a light commercial of this age. The gap between the 19 June 2023 test at 90,370 miles and the 7 June 2024 pass at 99,268 miles shows about 8,900 miles added in a year, a normal use rate. The two failed entries on 5 June 2024 at 99,267 miles and 19 June 2023 at 90,370 miles list no defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. The clean run since suggests the prior owner kept the van to test standard. A buyer should still verify structural integrity and corrosion on the chassis and sills, as Transits of this generation suffer from rust at body mounts and rear crossmembers if used in winter salt. The brake discs, calipers, and suspension bushes warrant a hands-on check despite no advisories being logged. The twin 2023 and 2024 fail-with-no-defect entries mean the DVSA system flagged a non-mechanical reason; confirm the V5C and test certificate match to avoid a cloned or misregistered record.
