2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · LD16 AAK

The vehicle currently presents a good roadworthiness status, following a clean MOT pass on 12 March 2026 at 57,113 miles where no defects were recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable and improving. Although the vehicle experienced failures in previous years, the two most recent tests resulted in passes without any advisories. This suggests that the current owner is proactive in addressing identified faults and ensuring the vehicle meets the required safety and emissions standards after initial failures. The mileage profile is notably low for a decade-old Ford Transit, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year. Between March 2024 and March 2025, the vehicle covered 5,520 miles, while it added another 4,126 miles in the final year leading up to the latest test. This consistent usage suggests the engine has not been subjected to heavy commercial strain, though the low-mileage operation can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or corrosion on brake discs and exhaust systems if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods between journeys. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that caused the failures in March 2024 and 2025. While the 2026 record is clean, the recurring failures indicate that specific components, likely related to the braking system, lighting, or emissions, require frequent attention. Inspect the suspension bushes for signs of cracking and check the brake calipers for any signs of binding or uneven wear. Given the age of the vehicle, verify the chassis for structural integrity and rust along the sills to ensure that the low mileage has not masked underlying environmental corrosion.
