2011 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · LT11 MYV

The vehicle shows a concerning pattern of recurring mechanical issues, suggesting a reactive rather than proactive maintenance approach. While the most recent recorded test in October 2021 at 193,036 miles resulted in a pass, the vehicle failed immediately prior to that test due to multiple lighting faults, a worn track rod end, and a worn anti-roll bar linkage. The persistent presence of corroded brake pipes across several years indicates a failure to address underlying structural degradation in the braking system. The mileage indicates heavy usage for a 2011 vehicle, averaging approximately 12,869 miles per year. The data shows a significant accumulation of roughly 26,000 miles between the September 2019 test and the October 2021 test. This high mileage, combined with the age of the vehicle, increases the likelihood of fatigue in suspension components and drivetrain parts. There is a notable lack of recent MOT data following the October 2021 entry, which means the current roadworthiness of the vehicle cannot be verified through official records. A prospective buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system and chassis. The records show a continuous trend of brake pipe corrosion from September 2019 through to October 2021, with testers repeatedly noting pipes covered in grease or other materials. This practice often masks the extent of the corrosion. You should inspect the brake lines, connections, and all mounting points for significant rust or structural weakness. Further attention should be directed toward the suspension and sealing components. The history flags recurring issues with the offside rear hub seal leaking and nearside rear shock absorbers misting oil. Given the previous failures involving track rod ends and anti-roll bar linkages, a physical check of all ball joints, bushes, and steering linkages is essential to ensure the vehicle is not nearing another mechanical failure.
