2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · MF16 GYA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of addressing minor defects promptly. The most recent test on 11 September 2025 at 69,505 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure for an inoperative rear registration plate lamp. This indicates that the owner is willing to rectify immediate electrical defects, and the vehicle has maintained a clean recorded record for the last three consecutive tests. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between June 2022 at 61,851 miles and September 2025 at 69,505 miles, the vehicle covered 7,654 miles over three years. This low usage suggests regular light operation rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for maintaining the integrity of seals, hoses, and mechanical components in a Ford Transit of this age. A buyer should focus physical inspection on the braking system and tyre condition based on previous advis. The 2022 test flagged thin front brake pads, and the 2023 record noted a nearside rear tyre worn to the legal limit and on the edge. These entries suggest potential uneven wear or delayed consumable replacement that warrants a check of the suspension geometry and current alignment. While the MOT record has not flagged structural corrosion, a thorough inspection of the chassis rails and mounting points remains standard practice for a vehicle of this era to ensure no hidden rust has developed.
