2016 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · FD66 LTK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT test without any recorded defects. The test conducted in August 2025 at 201,100 miles resulted in no failures, indicating that the vehicle currently meets minimum safety and environmental standards. This follows a trend of clean passes over the last several years, suggesting that the current owner maintains the essential mechanical requirements despite the high operational demands. The mileage data reflects heavy-duty use, averaging approximately 20,000 miles per year over its ten-year life. Between September 2024 and August 2025, the vehicle covered 23,764 miles, which remains consistent with the high annual average and suggests constant use for long-distance commercial work. This rapid accumulation places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. While the record shows no gaps, the sheer volume of 201,100 miles means that components are nearing the end of their typical service life. An in-person inspection should focus on the areas most susceptible to such high-mileage transit work. The 2022 test flagged a perished offside rear tyre and the 2023 test noted a defective wiper blade, which are minor consumable issues but indicate reactive rather than proactive maintenance. A buyer must specifically scrutinize the suspension bushes and coil springs for accelerated wear, as these often fail under heavy-load cycles. Given the mileage, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion and an assessment of brake disc thickness are also vital, as these are the primary points of failure for a Transit at this stage.
