2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · DP66 XUX

The 2016 Ford Transit has a current roadworthiness status of passable , but the maintenance trend is worsening over the past five years. The most recent test on 2026-01-09 recorded 176,333 miles and passed, yet the previous test on 2026-01-07 recorded 176,231 miles and failed, indicating a gradual acceleration of wear that has not been corrected. The mileage accumulation is significant, with the vehicle averaging approximately 35,000 miles per year. This pace is consistent with an older model and suggests that the owner has not maintained the car for extended periods, leading to the accumulation of brake dust, suspension bushings, and other consumables that are now visible in the MOT history. The gap between the 2024 and 2022 test dates (1,099 miles) is notable, pointing to a potential lack of regular servicing and a reliance on older, less reliable parts. A buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical wear patterns. The failure on 2026-01-07, combined with the rising mileage, strongly suggests that the suspension and braking systems are deteriorating. While the 2026 test passed, the history indicates that structural risks such as binding brakes, worn suspension components, or exhaust emissions are likely present. The risk of a future MOT failure is high, particularly given the rapid mileage increase and the failure of the most recent test.
