Our Verdict
Proceed with caution – the vehicle shows
Ask the seller for receipts or evidence that the tyre wear, lamp failures and windscreen damage noted in the MOTs have been rectified. Verify that any replacement tyres match the original size and are free from cuts. Review the service history for regular oil changes and diesel filter replacements, as high‑mileage diesel engines benefit from diligent maintenance. Be prepared to negotiate a price reduction to cover the cost of addressing the known faults and any future tyre or lamp replacements.
The Transit is popular for its payload capacity, but the model’s aggregate data shows a 74.3% MOT pass rate, with headlamp, corrosion and tyre issues topping the failure list. Consider obtaining a professional pre‑purchase inspection, focusing on the under‑carriage for rust, especially if the vehicle has been used in wet conditions, as indicated by the "wet and muddy underneath" note in the 2023 MOT.
The 2.0‑litre diesel engine typically delivers 30‑35 mpg in mixed driving, giving an annual fuel cost of roughly £1,200‑£1,400 at current diesel prices. Road tax for a 2016 Transit with CO2 emissions around 150‑180 g/km falls into Band D/E, costing about £150‑£200 per year. Insurance groups for this van are usually in the mid‑teens, translating to an annual premium of £600‑£800 depending on usage and driver profile. Routine maintenance – oil changes, filter replacements and tyre wear – adds another £300‑£400 per year. Overall, expect total running costs in the region of £2,250‑£2,800 annually.
Inspect all four tyres closely for cuts, sidewall damage or uneven wear, as the MOT history records multiple tyre cuts (e.g., near‑side rear inner tyre cut in 2023). Verify that the tyre tread depth meets legal limits and that any recent replacements are of the correct specification.
Check the functionality of all external lamps, especially the registration plate lamp, which has failed on several occasions (2023, 2024, 2025). Ensure the rear stop lamps and any side markers operate correctly. Examine the windscreen for cracks or chips that could impair the driver's view, noting the 2023 MOT failure for a damaged windscreen.
Given the "wet and muddy underneath" comment from the 2023 test, look for signs of corrosion on the under‑carriage, chassis joints and exhaust system. Rust can develop quickly in vans used in harsh conditions and may lead to costly repairs later.
This 2016 Ford Transit has logged 119,713 miles, well above the model's average annual mileage of 8,926 miles. Its MOT record includes several failures, notably tyre damage, registration plate lamp faults and windscreen damage. While the most recent test in November 2025 recorded a pass, the accompanying failure points suggest that remedial work was required. Potential buyers should weigh the higher mileage and repeated issues against the vehicle's utility as a diesel van.
The Ford Transit has an average MOT pass rate of 74.3%, with headlamp, corrosion and tyre problems being the most common failure reasons, suggesting moderate reliability.
