2011 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · LS11 DVT

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend following recent mechanical setbacks. The most recent test in April 2025 at 179,289 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the issues identified in previous years have been addressed. While the history shows failures in 2023 and 2024, the subsequent clean passes suggest the current owner is proactive in performing necessary repairs to meet DVSA standards. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a commercial-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year. Between April 2023 and April 2024, the vehicle covered 13,952 miles, representing a period of higher usage compared to the 9,915 miles recorded between the April 2024 and 2025 tests. This steady mileage suggests the engine has been operated regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally positive for seals and fuel components, though it places consistent strain on the drivetrain and suspension system. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and chassis integrity, as high-mileage Transits frequently suffer from perished bushes and corrosion. Given the failures recorded in 2023 and 2024, it is vital to check for signs of uneven tyre wear or worn control arms that might indicate previous faults were only temporarily fixes. Inspect the brake lines and hoses for age-related splits, as the high mileage increases the likelihood of hydraulic components reaching the end of their functional life.
