2016 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · LD66 XHM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test on 20 November 2025 at 78,984 miles passed only after failing the previous day due to thin rear brake pads and low AdBlue levels. This pattern suggests a cycle where the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they reach the MOT failure threshold, rather than performing routine maintenance to prevent components from reaching the end of their service life. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a decade-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 7,900 miles per year. The vehicle saw very low usage in its early life, covering only 6,813 miles between 2019 and 2020. However, usage increased significantly after late 2022, with the vehicle covering over 52,000 miles in the three-year period leading up to the 2025 test. This surge in activity correlates directly with the appearance of accelerated wear on the braking system and tyres noted in the more recent inspection records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system given the recurring failures regarding worn discs and pads. The 2024 failure at 58,097 miles flagged pitted and scored discs across both axles, while the 2025 failure confirmed the rear pads were dangerously thin. You should also inspect the tyres for sidewall damage or cracking, as the 2023 record already identified perishing on the offside rear tyre. The AdBlue system also warrants monitoring for potential faults, as the low level warnings in recent tests may indicate a leak or sensor malfunction that could lead to costly injector or pump replacements in the future.
