2016 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · FP66 FVJ

The 2025‑08‑18 MOT at 140,269 miles confirms the vehicle is currently roadworthy, with no defects recorded and a pass outcome, indicating a stable maintenance trend without worsening issues. The mileage trajectory shows consistent use: 129,541 miles in August 2023, rising to 135,013 miles by mid‑August 2024 and reaching 140,269 miles by August 2025, a gain of roughly 5,000 miles per year. No extended periods of inactivity are evident, indicating the van has been driven regularly rather than stored for long intervals. A buyer should therefore scrutinise the suspension system, looking for worn bushes, sagging coil springs and any binding of rear brake calipers, as these components are prone to fatigue under high annual mileage. Inspection of the brake discs and pads for scoring or uneven wear, and a visual assessment of the chassis and wheel arches for rust or corrosion, are essential, given the absence of recorded defects but the high mileage. Because the record shows no recurring mechanical failures, the primary concerns are consumable wear such as tyres and wiper blades, but the elevated annual mileage suggests accelerated degradation of drivetrain and suspension parts; a thorough physical examination is required to verify that the vehicle remains structurally sound and that all critical systems operate within specification.
