2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · DP16 HBF

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT on 7 April 2026 at 153,621 miles where no defects were recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend following a period of non-compliance. While the history shows previous failures, the transition to a clean pass suggests that the current owner has addressed necessary mechanical repairs and is maintaining the vehicle to a passing standard recently. The mileage profile reflects heavy usage for a ten-year-old van, averaging approximately 15,300 miles per annum. Between May 2021 and May 2022, the vehicle covered 15,982 miles, showing a period of high intensive operation. However, the usage dropped significantly between the May 2022 and April 2026 tests, with only 10,978 miles recorded over those four years. The high consistent annual mileage places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system compared to lower-mileage counterparts. The recorded failures in May 2021 and 2022 indicate that the vehicle previously suffered from issues that required immediate attention to pass. Since the specific reasons for these failures are not detailed in the summary provided, a physical inspection must focus on high-wear areas common to the Ford Transit at this mileage. A buyer should check for signs of structural corrosion on the chassis and inspect the condition of the coil springs and control arm bushings. Given the high mileage, inspecting the turbocharger and the condition of the brake discs and calipers is essential to ensure no underlying mechanical degradation is imminent.
