2011 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · LD61 LSL

The vehicle is roadworthy as of the most recent MOT on 2 December 2024 at 242,149 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. With four consecutive passes and no recorded advisories, the maintenance trend appears stable rather than deteriorating. Across a 13‑year span the mileage has risen from 180,608 miles in December 2021 to 242,149 miles in December 2024, averaging roughly 16,000 miles per year. The increments of 22,471 miles between 2021 and 2022, 16,963 miles between 2022 and 2023, and 22,107 miles between 2023 and 2024 show a consistent pattern of use with no significant gaps. Such a high cumulative mileage for a 2011 Transit suggests considerable wear on consumable components and a likely need for periodic replacement of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and pads, and tyre tread. A prospective buyer should inspect the tyre tread depth and uniformity, verify that the front and rear suspension bushes show no cracking or excessive play, and check for any signs of worn or warped brake discs or binding calipers. Examination of the exhaust system for corrosion, the under‑body for structural rust, and the condition of the steering rack and tie‑rod ends will further confirm the vehicle’s integrity. While the MOT record shows no recorded faults, these visual checks will reveal the true state of high‑mileage wear items that the test does not capture.
