2011 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · LT11 MYR

This vehicle is currently in a state of terminal mechanical and structural decline, having failed its most recent MOT on 24 June 2026. The maintenance trend is rapidly worsening, as evidenced by the shift from minor advisories to critical structural failure and severe hydraulic system degradation. The current failure report highlights significant corrosion to the inner and outer sills that compromises the structural integrity of the chassis, alongside multiple leaking or heavily corroded brake pipes. These issues indicate a pattern of deferred maintenance where underlying safety-critical faults have been neglected rather than rectified. The recorded mileage of 253,064 miles over fifteen years reflects heavy commercial use, averaging approximately 17,000 miles annually. While the vehicle covered nearly 1,300 miles between June 2024 and June 2026, the consistency of the failures suggests that the high mileage has taken a severe toll on the drivetrain and bodywork. The recurring emissions failures across multiple years point to an engine that is struggling to meet basic environmental standards, likely due to long-term wear or neglected fuel and ignition system servicing. Prospective buyers must prioritise a thorough inspection of the underside, specifically focusing on the structural mounting points and sills where corrosion has now reached a critical threshold. The brake system requires a complete overhaul, as the repeated warnings regarding corroded pipes and imbalanced rear braking suggest the hydraulic lines are nearing total failure. Given the combination of structural rot, persistent exhaust emissions issues, and failing lighting and vision components, this Transit represents a high-risk purchase that would require substantial investment to return to a roadworthy condition.
