2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · FJ16 VOP

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 20 November 2025 at 141,817 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the record shows an initial failure on that same date before an immediate pass. This suggests a minor defect was identified and rectified quickly prior to the retest. The lack of recorded advisories across the last three successful tests indicates that the vehicle is currently meeting minimum safety and emissions standards without outstanding immediate mechanical concerns. The mileage profile of 141,817 miles over ten years reflects an average of approximately 14,000 miles annually, which is consistent with heavy use for a Ford Transit. Between May 2023 and June 2024, the vehicle covered 7,262 miles in just thirteen months, followed by a further accumulation of 10,052 miles in the seventeen-month period between June 2024 and November 2025. This consistent high mileage places significant stress on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems, which typically reach their wear limits faster on commercial vehicles. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and steering geometry, as the high mileage often leads to accelerated degradation of ball joints and wish arms. Given the vehicle's age and usage, checking the chassis for structural corrosion is essential, particularly around the rear members and exhaust mounting points. While the digital record is clean of defects, the thickness of the brake discs and the condition of the tyres should be verified to ensure the high-mileage operation has not resulted in premature thinning of these components.
