2011 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · EX61 MYY

The vehicle shows a history of reactive maintenance where faults are often only addressed after an MOT failure. The most recent test on 23 July 2026 at 107,318 miles passed only after a failure for an inoperative position lamp and a registration plate lamp. While the vehicle currently passes, the record reveals a persistent oil leak and a noisy offside front wheel bearing that remains noted as an advisory. The oil leak has been a recurring mention in every test since 2022, indicating a long-term slow leak or seal failure that has not been professionally diagnosed or rectified. At 107,318 miles over 15 years, the Transit averages roughly 7,150 miles per year, which is consistent with light-commercial use. There is a significant gap in records between late 2019 and 2021, during which the vehicle covered only 1,300 miles. Since 2021, the mileage has increased more rapidly, leading to visible wear on consumables and suspension components. The 2024 test highlighted multiple issues including worn suspension arm bushes and a corroded front brake pipe, suggesting that the vehicle is beginning to suffer the typical effects of age-related degradation and corrosion. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking and suspension systems. The record consistently notes pitted or scored brake discs, with thin rear pads flagged in 2024. The corrosion on the offside front brake pipe noted in 2024 is a serious safety concern that should be inspected to ensure it has been replaced or treated since then. Furthermore, the repeated reports of wear on suspension arm bushes and the current noisy bearing suggest the front end is deteriorating. The persistent oil leak requires a thorough inspection to ensure it is not originating from a critical engine component or gasket that could lead to future mechanical failure.
