2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · EK16 TGF

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 3 October 2025 at 159,747 miles. The maintenance trend shows a marked improvement in recent years, moving from a series of recurring suspension and braking advisories in 2022 and 2023 to clean passes in the two most recent inspections. This suggests that the current owner has addressed previous mechanical shortcomings, resulting in a stable roadworthiness status as of the last test date. With an average annual accumulation of approximately 16,000 miles, this Transit has seen consistent, heavy-duty usage typical of a commercial vehicle. The mileage jumped significantly between September 2022 and October 2023, where the vehicle covered over 22,000 miles in a single year. While the current odometer reading of 159,747 miles is high for a ten-year-old van, the lack of defects in the last two tests indicates that the drivetrain and structural components have been maintained sufficiently to pass annual scrutiny despite the high-intensity workload. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems, as these areas have historically shown the most wear. Although the 2023 test flagged corroded coil springs and worn suspension bushes, the subsequent clean passes imply these parts were replaced or rectified. You should verify the condition of the brake discs and pads, as the history shows a recurring tendency for pitting and scoring, likely due to the vehicle being left standing or driven under heavy loads. Check the driveshaft area for any signs of the oil leaks noted in 2023 and inspect the underside for any structural corrosion that may have been overlooked during the most recent test.
