2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CY16 AYN

The Ford Transit presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 26 March 2026 at 92,978 miles, which returned a pass with no defects logged. The maintenance trend is stable across the available record, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. Prior to that pass, the same-day failure on 26 March 2026 recorded no defects, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven fail. Mileage progression sits within typical bounds for a 2016 panel van. The record shows 67,962 miles at the April 2024 test, rising to 82,125 miles by 21 April 2025 and 92,978 miles by March 2026. That equates to roughly 10,000 to 11,000 miles per year, reflecting consistent commercial use without abrupt accumulation. The sparse history of only three pass cycles and two same-day fails leaves limited data, but the clean defect columns suggest the previous keeper kept basic statutory testing current. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and light-duty cycle. Standing periods between the April and March tests can allow corrosion to develop on structural members and brake calipers even where the MOT shows no advisories. The absence of recorded faults does not certify component condition, only that the tester found nothing reportable on the day. Given the two failure entries carry no defect codes, verify with the selling garage whether these were documentation errors or presentation issues such as incorrect mileage notation. Confirming the V5C and DVSA portal alignment protects against unnoticed clerical mismatch on a 10-year-old working vehicle.
