2016 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · GC16 YDO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection data. The November 2025 test at 113,917 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that previous issues were successfully rectified. While the record shows two instances of failure immediately preceding a pass—specifically on 11-06-2025 and 11-01-2024—the lack of recorded defect descriptions for these failures makes it difficult to pinpoint the exact mechanical cause. However, the transition from failure to a clean pass suggests that the necessary repairs were carried out to meet minimum standards. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical ten-year service life for a Ford Transit. The vehicle has covered 113,917 miles, averaging approximately 11,392 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 106,893 miles in October 2023 to 112,628 miles in November 2024, and finally to 113,917 miles in November 2025. This incremental increase suggests regular, predictable usage rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive heavy-duty hauling. Because the MOT history does not explicitly detail the reasons for the failures in 2024 and 2025, a physical inspection is necessary to confirm the current state of wear-prone components. Focus should be directed toward the suspension system, specifically checking for perished bushes or worn coil springs, and examining the chassis for any signs of structural corrosion. Given the age and mileage, the condition of the brake discs and calipers should be verified to ensure no binding or excessive thinning is present. The buyer should also inspect the underbody for signs of oil or fluid leaks from the engine and drivetrain. While the recent MOT results are clean, the previous failures indicate that the vehicle requires diligent maintenance to remain compliant. Checking the condition of the exhaust system and ensuring all lighting and wiper components are functional will provide a complete picture of the vehicle's current maintenance standard.
