2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · FX16 YKA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent MOT test in November 2023 at 99,364 miles secured a pass, yet it highlighted recurring mechanical issues that had appeared previously. While the vehicle has passed its inspections, the persistence of oil leaks and suspension bushing wear across multiple years suggests that components are only addressed once they approach a failure point or an advisory threshold. The mileage profile is consistent with a ten-year-old commercial vehicle averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. There is a significant gap of 16,548 miles between August 2022 and November 2023, indicating a period of heavy use during that interval. Given that the last recorded test was in November 2023, the vehicle is now overdue for its annual MOT examination, which increases the risk that undetected wear or new-related faults have developed since the last professional inspection. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and drivetrain seals. The record shows that the offside front suspension arm pin or bush was flagged in both 2022 and 2023, indicating a persistent weakness that may now require full component replacement. Furthermore, the 2023 test noted an oil leak and a weeping rear nearside half shaft seal, which necessitates a close inspection to ensure these leaks are not progressing toward a more significant mechanical failure. The brakes also warrant attention, as pitted rear discs were already noted in 2022, suggesting the hardware may be nearing the end of its effective life.
