2011 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · FN11 GXJ

The Ford Transit presents as roadworthy at its most recent examination. The tester passed the van on 17 July 2025 at 248,559 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied records is stable with no recurring advisories or mechanical faults flagged. Mileage stands at 248,559 against a 2011 build, averaging roughly 16,571 miles per year, which is high for the age and points to steady commercial use rather than long idle periods. The records show 220,993 miles on 18 July 2023, 235,214 on 18 July 2024, and 248,559 on 17 July 2025, giving a consistent annual climb of about 12,000 to 13,000 miles. A notable gap sits between the 11 February 2022 test at 201,020 miles and the July 2023 test, where roughly 20,000 miles accrued with no intermediate MOT data supplied. The July 2024 entry shows both a fail and a pass logged on the same day at identical mileage, with no defects cited, suggesting an administrative or process anomaly rather than a genuine mechanical rejection. Given the clean MOT trail and absence of advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of those components owing to the high mileage and 15-year age. The same-day fail-pass in July 2024 warrants a check of the DVSA failure reason code if available, as the record itself lists no defects. At this mileage, expect consumable wear on tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions kit even where the tester raised no flags.
