2011 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · EO61 XMP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of structural degradation. While it passed the most recent test in December 2025 at 186,560 miles, this result followed a significant failure just one year prior. The 2024 failure highlighted critical structural issues, including holed outer sills and corroded inner sills that significantly reduced assembly rigidity. Although the 2025 test noted that rigidity is currently maintained, the presence of generalbody corrosion and corroded brake pipes indicates active and ongoing metal decay. At 186,560 miles, this Transit has covered an average of over 12,000 miles annually over its fifteen-year life. The data shows consistent high usage, with an 8,500-mile interval between November 2023 and December 2024, and another 8,500 miles covered by December 2025. This high mileage profile explains the heavy wear observed on heavy-duty components, as evidenced by the recurring oil leaks and suspension failures throughout the record. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the sills and chassis rails to verify that the repairs made after the December 2024 failure are robust. The tester flagged corroded brake pipes covered in grease in the latest test, which is a common method used to mask advanced surface corrosion. Furthermore, the history shows a pattern of suspension wear, including worn leaf spring bushes, anti-roll bar pins, and ball joints. The persistent oil leaks noted since at least 2022 suggest an engine that is nearing significant seal failure if not addressed.
