2016 Ford Transit 290 2.2L Heavy oil · FJZ 210

The 2016 Ford Transit 290 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 April 2026 at 97,569 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Mileage has accumulated in a steady, age-appropriate manner across the record. The van covered 52,462 miles by 31 January 2022, rose to 60,375 by 9 February 2023, then 74,784 on 23 February 2024, 84,469 on 4 March 2025, and 97,569 by April 2026. That equates to roughly 9,700 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps, indicating consistent commercial use rather than prolonged standing. The absence of any advisories across all five tests suggests previous operators kept basic consumables and structural items within tolerance. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's ten-year age and near-100,000-mile tally. The MOT record shows no corrosion, binding calipers, or exhaust emission failures, but annual passes with zero advisories offer no insight into wear margin on tyres or wiper blades. Verify underbody structural integrity and check for incipient rust at chassis mounting points, as DVSA testers did not flag such conditions during the clean test history.
