2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · KT16 HVP

This Ford Transit has maintained a consistent MOT pass record across five consecutive tests, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the most recent examinations. The October 2025 test at 153,672 miles confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though the absence of any recorded issues does not preclude underlying wear or deferred maintenance. The pattern suggests either meticulous servicing or a vehicle that has not yet reached critical failure thresholds for its age and mileage. The recorded mileage of 153,672 miles over nine years—approximately 15,367 miles annually—indicates heavy usage, which accelerates wear on suspension components, drivetrain, and braking systems. Mileage jumps of around 8,000 miles between tests (e.g., from 144,527 in November 2024 to 153,672 in October 2025) suggest the vehicle was in regular operation without prolonged periods of inactivity. While this does not inherently signal neglect, it does imply that high-mileage components like coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake calipers may require closer scrutiny. Given the lack of MOT advisories or defects, no specific recurring faults are flagged in the record. However, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension integrity, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Binding or uneven brake calipers, excessive brake disc wear, or corrosion at wheel arches and subframes are also common concerns at this mileage. The absence of emissions-related advisories in recent tests is reassuring, but a visual check for exhaust leaks or catalytic converter degradation is advisable. Structural corrosion, particularly around the sills, rear axle, and suspension mounts, should be examined thoroughly, as this is often not detected until later stages.
