2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · GJ16 CWM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. While it passed its latest test in March 2026 at 92,010 miles, this followed a failure just four days prior. The trend shows a pattern where components are only addressed once they reach the point of legal failure. The recurring presence of a corroded brake pipe covered in grease in the most recent test indicates that structural corrosion is being masked, which can hinder thorough inspection. At 92,010 miles over ten years, the Transit has averaged approximately 9,200 miles per annum, which is consistent with a typical commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows steady usage, with roughly 9,000 miles covered between the February 2024 and March 2025 tests, and another similar distance covered leading up to March 2026. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle has not sat idle for long periods, but the mileage places standard wear on consumable items like suspension and braking systems as seen in the record. A buyer must inspect the front steering assembly closely, as the missing nearside steering rack gaiter noted in March 2026 can lead to premature rack failure if dirt ingress continues. The history of thin brake pads and pitted discs in 2024, followed by corroded brake pipes in 2026, suggests the braking system requires a thorough check. Particular attention should be paid to the condition of the brake lines to ensure the corrosion is not deep-seated metal loss. Additionally, the repeated flags for low tyre tread and uneven wear indicate that alignment may need adjustment to prevent further premature expense on tyres.
