2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · LD16 FPX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on April 10 2025 at 84,849 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reactive, as evidenced by a failure just two weeks prior in March 2025 at 84,550 miles due to a split nearside front outer drive shaft CV boot. This defect was rectified for the subsequent pass, suggesting the owner addresses immediate mechanical failures once identified during testing. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of roughly 12,000 miles between March 2023 and March 2024, and another 12,000 miles between March 2024 and March 2025. This regular usage suggests consistent operation rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for rubber components and seals in a Ford Transit of this age. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension and drive drivetrain components, as the history shows recurring issues with tyres and CV boots. The 2023 test flagged a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit on the edge, while the 2022 record noted two nails in the rear tyres. These indicators suggest potential alignment issues or a neglect of basic consumable maintenance. Given the CV boot failure in 2025, a close check for grease leakage around the front joints is necessary to ensure the repair was thorough and that the joint has not suffered internal damage.
