2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · FG66 RYM

The Ford Transit presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent DVSA examination. On 26 June 2025 at 38,167 miles the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded, after an initial failure on the same date showing no logged defects, likely an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available record, with every completed test from 2022 through 2025 returning a clean sheet free of advisories or recorded wear. The mileage trace shows unusual behaviour for a 2016 panel van. The 13 September 2022 test logged 92,310 miles, yet the 29 September 2023 examination recorded just 4,575 miles, a drop of over 87,000 miles that points to either a clock change, a replacement cluster, or a data error in the DVSA feed. From that 2023 low the van climbed to 23,045 miles by 23 September 2024 and reached 38,167 miles by June 2025, implying roughly 15,000 miles of use in the last year. Average yearly use across the lifespan sits near 3,800 miles, low for the type and suggesting extended idle periods. No tester ever flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across the five entries, so the paper history gives no signal of structural or mechanical risk. A buyer should still confirm the 2022 to 2023 mileage reversal with the seller and inspect the odometer and service book for consistency. Given the long standing intervals implied by the low annual figures, check for perished rubber, seized calipers, and underbody rust that a clean MOT will not always catch on a lightly used ten-year-old Transit.
