2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · FL16 USO

The 2016 Ford Transit presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass on 8 October 2025 at 76,782 miles, though the same-day failure with no defects logged points to an administrative or presentational issue rather than a mechanical fault. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the three years of records, with every annual test either passing or failing on non-mechanical grounds and no advisories or defects ever recorded. This clean run suggests the previous keeper kept the van to a basic legal standard, but the duplicated 2025 entries show the tester rejected it once before clearing it hours later. Mileage sat at 68,348 on 10 October 2023, rose to 74,652 by the 7 October 2024 failure and 74,659 at the pass four days later, then reached 76,782 by October 2025. That equates to roughly 3,150 miles in year one and 2,123 in year two, well below the 7,678 per-year average for the vehicle's age. Low annual use of this order often means long stationary periods, which can let brake calipers seize, tyres crack, and underbody corrosion start unseen despite a clear MOT sheet. A buyer should still lay eyes on the brake discs and calipers for binding or surface rust given the van's low running and the same-day fail-pass pattern that hides no stated cause. Inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe mounts for corrosion or fatigue, since the records give no assurance these were examined beyond the pass criteria. Check exhaust emissions and structural integrity at the sills and chassis legs, as a clean MOT with zero advisories offers no early warning of wear forming between tests.
