2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · FX16 YKF

The 2016 Ford Transit is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 2026-06-09 with only minor defects: a slightly damaged nearside obligatory mirror and leaking rear hub seals. The maintenance trend remains stable, with no new or worsening issues in the latest test, and the vehicle has consistently passed since 2023. The recurring mirror damage and hub leaks suggest minor cosmetic and sealing concerns rather than systemic mechanical failure, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to a basic standard. The recorded mileage of 6,045 miles over ten years equates to approximately 604 miles per year, which is exceptionally low for a commercial van of this age. This suggests the vehicle has seen minimal use, possibly due to infrequent operation or long periods of storage. The MOT history shows consistent annual testing with no significant gaps, and the mileage increases steadily year-on-year, indicating regular but light usage. The absence of major defects in the 2023 and 2022 tests further supports the conclusion that the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy or demanding use. Despite the low mileage, the persistent rear hub seal leaks and mirror damage should prompt a closer inspection of the rear wheel assemblies and suspension components. Leaking seals may indicate worn bearings or improper lubrication, which could lead to more serious failures if ignored. The nearside mirror damage, while not a safety-critical defect, may affect visibility and should be repaired for legal compliance. Buyers should also check for any signs of corrosion on the chassis or bodywork, as low-mileage vehicles can develop rust in hidden areas during long periods of inactivity.
