2016 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · GU13 NER

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently non-roadworthy, as the most recent MOT test was conducted in the September 2023 test at 70,157 miles. The maintenance history indicates a clear trend of deterioration rather than stability or improvement, with the most recent failure occurring in November 2023, suggesting that the vehicle has not undergone adequate basic upkeep since the 2022 inspection. The mileage pattern shows significant gaps and rapid accumulation, particularly between the 2023-11-13 and 2023-11-14 tests where the mileage dropped from 70,157 to 70,151 miles. This sharp decline in mileage between two consecutive successful tests suggests that the vehicle may have been driven for extended periods without maintenance, or that the mechanical integrity has degraded substantially during this period, warranting immediate inspection. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural and mechanical risks, specifically focusing on the rear inner brake disc, the gearbox mounting, and the constant velocity boot on the front drive shaft. Given the failure of the gearbox mounting and the split constant velocity boot, there is a high risk of future failure in the drivetrain. Additionally, the rear brake pad wearing thin and the nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit indicate that the braking system and suspension components have not been adequately inspected or maintained, which is a critical structural risk that must be addressed before purchase.
