2016 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · FM06 NOT

The 2016 Ford Transit presents a current roadworthy status with a clean pass recorded on 1 October 2025 at 128,967 miles, following a same-day failure logged at 128,966 miles with no defects listed. The maintenance trend reads as stable on paper, though the paired fail-pass entries on both 1 October 2025 and 8 October 2024, each showing no recorded defects, point to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical deterioration. No advisories or faults appear across the available history, so the vehicle shows no worsening pattern in the official record. Mileage sat at 57,026 miles for the 13 July 2023 test, then jumped to 105,638 miles by 8 October 2024, an accumulation of over 48,000 miles in roughly fifteen months. By 1 October 2025 the odometer read 128,967 miles, adding a further 23,329 miles in twelve months. At near 129,000 miles for a ten-year-old van the annual average of about 12,900 miles runs high, and the sharp rise between mid-2023 and late 2024 suggests a period of heavy commercial use. The sparse three-test history limits insight, but the absence of recorded defects across all entries implies either diligent upkeep or minimal scrutiny at test. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high annual mileage and load-bearing Transit usage. The repeated same-day fail-with-no-defect then pass outcomes on 8 October 2024 and 1 October 2025 warrant confirmation that the V5C and DVSA portal list a single valid certificate, not a clerical duplicate. Examine subframe and body mounts for corrosion and check rear calipers for binding after sustained motorway cycles. Given the clean MOT lineage, no urgent mechanical red flags emerge from the data itself. The prior owner likely covered motorway miles rather than neglecting consumables, yet tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions should be verified on the day of sale to confirm the silent record matches physical condition.
