2011 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · LR61 AEO

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent passing trend over the last four years. The most recent MOT on 14 May 2025 at 106,550 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a pattern of clean passes dating back to May 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids recurring mechanical failures or neglected repairs. The mileage is typical for a 2011 model, averaging roughly 7,103 miles per year. Usage has remained steady, with the vehicle covering 7,771 miles between May 2023 and May 2024, and a slightly higher 7,771 miles between May 2024 and May 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of inactivity that would suggest hidden deterioration from standing. One anomaly appears in May 2022, where the vehicle failed on 20 May at 85,193 miles, only to pass six days later at 85,331 miles. The record does not specify the failure reason, which is unusual for a DVSA entry. This brief gap indicates a rapid rectification of a specific fault, though the lack of detailed defect data prevents a precise diagnosis of that event. A physical inspection should focus on areas the MOT tester may overlook or that develop regardless of a clean pass. Given the age and typical usage of a Ford Transit, check for corrosion on the chassis rails and sills. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, as these components often wear out before triggering a formal MOT failure. Verify the condition of the brake discs and pads to ensure they are not nearing their wear limits despite the current clean record.
