2011 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · LT11 MYK

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean MOT pass in August 2023 at 191,291 miles. This indicates a stable maintenance trend in the immediate term following a period of neglect in early 2021. However, because the most recent test occurred nearly three years ago, the vehicle is significantly overdue for an MOT, and an immediate inspection is required to ensure that the mechanical condition has not deteriorated since the last recorded check. The mileage profile reveals high-intensity usage typical of a commercial Transit, but with notable fluctuations. The vehicle covered 74,449 miles between July 2022 and August 2023, representing an extreme rate of over 60,000 miles per year during that period. This contrasts sharply with the average of 12,753 miles per year over the vehicle's life, suggesting heavy commercial duty cycles between testing intervals. Such rapid accumulation places immense stress on the drivetrain, turbocharger, and suspension components, necessitating a rigorous check for wear and tear. A buyer must focus their in-person inspection on the suspension and braking systems. The March 2021 failure highlighted multiple issues with the offside rear anti-roll bar linkage and bushes, alongside dangerously thin brake pads and illegal tyres. While these were rectified to pass, the high annual mileage suggests that rubber bushes and ball joints are likely nearing the service life. The history of worn tyres and thin pads indicates that previous owners often only addressed maintenance when prompted by failure, making a thorough check of the current brake discs, calipers, and structural integrity essential.
