2011 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · FD11 XBT

The vehicle's MOT record demonstrates a clear declining trend in roadworthiness, with the most recent test on 2025-08-11 failing at 93,741 miles and the previous inspection on 2024-05-24 failing at 84,643 miles. This indicates that the vehicle has not maintained its mechanical integrity over the past two years, suggesting a pattern of worsening condition rather than a stable or improving one. The failure in the September 2025 test represents a significant deterioration in the vehicle's condition, as the previous failure occurred in May 2024. The mileage accumulation is substantial, averaging approximately 6,250 miles per year, which is consistent with the vehicle's age of roughly 15 years. While the mileage itself is not excessive for a 2011 model, there are notable gaps in the data that suggest a lack of regular maintenance. The most recent test was conducted at 93,746 miles on 2025-08-11, and the previous test was at 84,643 miles on 2024-05-24. The absence of a test in the period between May 2024 and August 2025 leaves the vehicle in a vulnerable state, as the accumulated wear and tear from the previous two years has not been addressed. A buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to assess the structural integrity and mechanical health of the chassis and suspension, which are the most critical areas for failure in this context. The history reveals recurring issues in the suspension and braking systems, specifically the wear of arm pins and bushings in the lower suspension, which can lead to excessive movement and safety hazards. Additionally, the brakes are flagged for pitting, scoring, and thin pads, indicating that the brake discs may be compromised and the pads may be worn down to the point where they cannot provide adequate friction. The chassis also shows slight corrosion, which is a serious structural concern that may lead to further damage if not addressed immediately.
