2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · EA66 PLX

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a successful test on 17 December 2025 at 79,080 miles. While the most recent test required a minor rectification of a non-functional offside front position lamp, the overall maintenance trend shows a shift from mechanical component failures toward consumable wear. The record indicates a period of instability between 2022 and 2024 where CV boots and tyre condition presented recurring issues, but the lack of defects in the most recent pass suggests the vehicle is currently in a stable condition. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical commercial usage pattern for a ten-year-old Ford Transit. The vehicle has covered approximately 7,908 miles per year, moving from 25,675 miles in late 2019 to 79,080 miles in late 2025. This steady progression of roughly 10,000 miles per annum suggests regular use rather than long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate the risk of seized components or perished seals often found in low-mileage vehicles that sit idle. The MOT history highlights specific areas requiring close physical inspection. The tester flagged deteriorated CV boots on both the nearside and offside front drive shafts in 2022 and 2023, so a buyer must verify that these have been replaced and that no grease leakage or play is present in the joints. The 2024 test noted a slight leak in the power steering system, necessitating a thorough check of the steering rack, hoses, and reservoir for any signs of weeping or fluid loss. Tyre maintenance has been a recurring issue, with multiple failures and advisories regarding tread depth, edge wear, and perishing between 2019 and 2024. Although the 2025 test recorded no tyre defects, the previous pattern suggests the owner may neglect consumable replacements until they reach legal limits. A physical inspection should also include a check of the front brake discs, which showed pitting and scoring in 2022, to ensure they have not been resurfaced or replaced recently.
