2016 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · EO66 XDC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a clean pass following a period of inconsistency. The most recent test conducted in December 2025 at 131,794 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that previous mechanical and external issues have been addressed. This represents a significant improvement from the December 2022 inspection where the vehicle failed on multiple grounds including lighting and braking performance. The mileage data reflects a consistent and high-utilization usage pattern, averaging approximately 13,000 miles per year over its ten-year life. Between December 2023 and December 2024, the vehicle covered 6,146 miles, while the interval between 2024 and 2025 saw 4,077 miles recorded. This steady rate of use suggests the vehicle has been employed for regular commercial duties, which typically leads to accelerated wear on drivetrain components and suspension hardware compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system, specifically targeting the rear service brakes. The failure in December 2022 flagged both rear service brakes as excessively fluctuating, which often indicates thin brake discs or seized caliper pistons that may be nearing another failure. Given the high mileage, the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs is also critical, as these components endure significant stress under the heavy loads typical of a Transit. The history also shows minor neglect regarding external consumables, such as the cracked windscreen and defective wiper blades noted in 2022 and 2024. While these are minor points, they suggest a pattern of reactive rather than proactive preventative maintenance. An inspection should include a check for structural corrosion on the sills and underbody, as these are common points of failure for high-mileage vans of this age.
