2016 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · LO66 ACZ

The vehicle is currently in a fair roadworthy state, though the maintenance trend has shifted from a clean record to one showing emerging wear. The most recent test on 18 January 2025 at 165,650 miles resulted in a pass, but the tester flagged pitted and scored front brake discs on both sides along with perishing rear tyres. These advisories indicate a decline in the condition of key consumables compared to the flawless reports seen in previous years. The mileage is high for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 16,565 miles per year. A significant jump in usage occurred between November 2019 and November 2020, where the odometer rose from 90,270 to 123,137 miles. More recently, the vehicle covered 17,234 miles between January 2022 and January 2023. This consistent high-mileage usage puts increased stress on the drivetrain and suspension components, which is reflected in the recent appearance of mechanical advisories. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and tyres. The 18 January 2025 entry confirms the front discs are scored and pitted, suggesting they are nearing the end of their service life. The 12 January 2024 test at 163,471 miles noted an oil leak described as not excessive. This requires a close check of the engine bay and underside to determine if the leak has worsened or if it originates from a primary seal or a minor gasket. The recurring issues with tyre condition, specifically the worn inner edge noted in January 2024 and the perishing rubber flagged in January 2025, suggest a potential alignment issue or a lack of regular tyre rotation. Any prospective buyer should check for uneven tread wear across all four corners. Given the age and high mileage of this Transit, a thorough inspection for structural corrosion on the chassis and sills is also recommended, despite the lack of specific rust advisories in the DVSA record.
