2022 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · D16 AWA

The most recent MOT test conducted on 18 December 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similarly clean result from April 2025, indicating a stable and positive maintenance trend. The absence of any noted failures or warnings suggests that the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy condition and that any wear and tear items have likely been addressed before the official inspection. With a recorded mileage of 56,381 miles over approximately four years, this vehicle has averaged roughly 14,095 miles per annum. This is considered high usage for its age, which typically suggests a life spent in commercial service or long distance commuting. While the MOT history is clean, the higher mileage accumulation accelerates the degradation of consumables and places greater stress on the drivetrain, suspension bushes, and braking system compared to a lower mileage example. Given the clean MOT record but high mileage, a physical inspection should focus on the condition of high wear components. You should examine the brake discs for significant lip formation or scoring and verify the remaining thickness of the brake pads. Check the tyre treads for uneven wear, which could indicate a need for wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. It is also essential to inspect the chassis and underbody for any signs of surface corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has operated in coastal areas or on salted winter roads. During a test drive, pay close attention to the suspension for any clunks or knocks over uneven surfaces, and ensure the clutch engagement is smooth without excessive slipping. Because this vehicle has covered significant distance, verifying the service history is paramount to ensure oil and filter changes have been performed at the correct intervals to protect the engine and turbocharger. Finally, check the health of the 12V battery and inspect the engine bay for any weeping seals or fluid leaks that may not have been flagged during a standard MOT but are common as mileage increases.
