2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · GP16 ABU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent MOT test on 28 January 2026 at 76,750 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just one day prior. This immediate rectification likely indicates a minor administrative oversight or a trivial consumable issue that was addressed instantly before the retest, as no mechanical or structural failures were noted across the previous three years. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old Transit, averaging approximately 7,675 miles per year. Between January 2023 and January 2026, the vehicle covered 18,175 miles, showing a steady usage pattern rather than long periods of stationary or sudden bursts of high-intensity high-mileage work. This low-mileage profile for a commercial vehicle typically suggests less strain on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mile counterparts, though it can sometimes mask the degradation of rubber components and fluids due to inactivity. While the record shows no recurring mechanical faults, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for a Ford Transit of this age. A buyer should examine the structural integrity of the chassis for corrosion, particularly around the rear members and mounting points, and check the suspension bushes for signs of cracking. Given the low mileage, verifying the condition of the brake discs for pitting or seized calipers is essential, as under-used vehicles can suffer from surface corrosion if not driven frequently.
