2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · MF16 HTA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift from a previously clean-maintenance record. In the March 2026 test at 100,195 miles, the Transit failed due to a non-functional nearside front dipped beam and a front oil leak. While these issues were rectified to secure a pass shortly, the appearance of an oil leak suggests the beginning of wear-related degradation in engine seals or gaskets that was not present in the preceding three years of testing. The mileage profile remains consistent with a ten-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between February 2024 at 82,588 miles and February 2025 at 92,591 miles, the vehicle covered 10,003 miles, showing a steady and predictable usage pattern. The lack of recorded defects between the 2023 and 2025 tests indicates that the structural and mechanical components were held in good condition without significant signs of heavy-duty neglect or neglect during that period. A buyer should specifically inspect the front engine bay to determine the source of the oil leak flagged in the March 2026 test. Even if the leak was deemed not excessive by the tester, it often precedes a more significant failure if not monitored. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, a physical check of the suspension bushes and chassis for for corrosion is also necessary, as these are common points of failure on the Transit platform as they cross the 100,000-mile threshold.
