Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the low mile
Prioritise verifying the quality of the repairs carried out in February 2026. You should request invoices to confirm that the corroded brake pipes were fully replaced rather than superficially treated, as corrosion is a known common failure for this model. Given the low mileage, check the service history to ensure the engine oil has been changed at regular intervals regardless of the distance covered.
Negotiate based on the current advisories regarding the rear oil leaks. While the MOT tester noted these were 'not excessive', they indicate a developing issue that will eventually require mechanical intervention. Ensure a professional mechanic confirms the source of these leaks before completing the purchase.
Equipped with a 2198cc diesel engine, this Transit will offer typical commercial fuel economy, though costs will vary based on load and usage. It falls into a standard tax bracket for 2016 diesel vans, and insurance costs will depend on the driver's profile and the vehicle's intended use (commercial vs private).
Maintenance costs for this model are generally moderate, but as seen in the MOT history, suspension components and brake lines can be prone to wear and corrosion. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, are approximately £1,200-£1,600.
Conduct a thorough inspection of the underbody, specifically the brake lines at all four corners. The February 2026 failure recorded excessive corrosion on the nearside front, offside front, and both rear brake pipes; ensure these are now clean and secure. Also, inspect the front suspension arm bushings and track rod ends to ensure the replacements are functioning correctly.
Pay close attention to the rear axle and differential area to locate the oil leaks mentioned in the most recent MOT pass. Check for any signs of fluid pooling or dampness on the nearside and offside rear components. Finally, check the condition of the brake discs and pads, as these were flagged as worn or pitted in February 2025.
This silver 2016 Ford Transit has recorded 51,297 miles, which is notably lower than the average for this model. The MOT history was clear until 2024, but the February 2026 test revealed severe corrosion across all brake pipes and significant suspension wear. Although these were rectified for a subsequent pass, the vehicle currently carries advisories for oil leaks at the rear.
This model has an average MOT pass rate of 74.4%, with corrosion and tyre issues being among the most frequent causes of failure.
