2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · MA16 GPE

The most recent MOT on 2025-11-27 shows the vehicle passed but recorded defects including corroded brake pipes, worn suspension bushes, and insufficient washer fluid. A separate failed MOT on the same date highlighted the same issues alongside a windscreen washer fault. These defects suggest ongoing maintenance needs, particularly in braking and suspension systems. Recurring mechanical patterns include wear on suspension components, such as the nearside and offside front lower sub-frame bushes, which were noted in 2023 and 2025. Brake-related issues like corroded pipes and thin pads also reappeared. Tyre problems, including exposed ply and wear near legal limits, were recorded in 2024. These indicate a trend of gradual component degradation rather than sudden failures. The condition trend appears stable but not improving. Defects have persisted across multiple MOTs without significant escalation, though repeated issues with suspension and braking components signal potential long-term reliability concerns. No major new faults were recorded in the 2025 passed MOT, suggesting the vehicle remains roadworthy but requires attentive upkeep.
