2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · DU54 ANE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 28 August 2025 at 124,901 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety and environmental standards. This streak of clean results across the last four years suggests a proactive approach to maintenance, as no mechanical failures or structural weaknesses were flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern reflects consistent high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 12,500 miles per year over its decade of life. Between February 2022 and October 2024, the vehicle covered 32,156 miles in just thirty months, representing a period of heavy commercial use exceeding 14,000 miles annually. In the more recent interval between October 2024 and August 2025, the vehicle added another 13,308 miles. This steady accumulation suggests the van has been used regularly, which often results in better condition on drivetrain components compared to a vehicle that has sat stationary. While the MOT history shows no recorded advisories or faults, a buyer must focus on high-mileage wear points during a physical inspection. At over 124,000 miles, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers should be checked for signs of perished rubber or leaks. The braking system requires a close look for thinning discs or binding calipers, as the MOT only identifies these once they reach a failure threshold. Given the Transit's age, a thorough inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion around the mounting points is essential to ensure the frame integrity remains uncompromised by salt or environmental exposure.
