2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · FJ16 VOY

The 2016 Ford Transit presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 March 2026 at 123,802 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the four preceding annual tests from March 2023 to March 2025 also passed clean. The only blemish is a failed test on 23 February 2023 at 117,836 miles, reversed the next day on 24 February 2023 at the same mileage with a pass and no defects noted, indicating a likely administrative or retest correction rather than a mechanical fault left unrepaired. The recorded mileage of 123,802 against a ten-year-old van equates to roughly 12,380 miles per year, which is high for the age and points to steady commercial use rather than long idle periods. Annual accumulation stayed modest: 117,836 miles in February 2023 rose to 120,497 by March 2024, then 121,349 by March 2025 and 123,802 by March 2026, an average of under 2,000 miles between tests in the later years. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with no advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across the visible record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underside corrosion given the vehicle's age and high mileage, as MOT passes with no defects do not confirm absence of developing rust on chassis rails or sills. The front suspension, coil springs, and brake calipers warrant hands-on checks for binding or wear that a clean test sheet would not capture. The trivial 2023 fail-retest pair suggests no owner neglect pattern, but the lack of recorded advisories across ten years of use means consumable condition such as tyre tread and wiper blades remains unverified by the history.
