2011 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · MJ11 NES

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding structural integrity. While the Transit passed its most recent test in February 2026 at 72,328 miles, this followed a significant failure just one week prior at 72,313 miles. That failure highlighted critical structural defects involving multiple seat belt anchorages and excessive corrosion on the nearside front suspension mounting. Although these items were addressed to secure the pass, the presence of deep structural corrosion suggests the metalwork is reaching a stage of advanced degradation. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old Ford Transit, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage, with 3,000 miles covered between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 3,000 miles between January 2025 and February 2026. This low-frequency use often correlates with the degradation of rubber-based components and the accumulation of moisture, which likely contributes to the persistent corrosion noted on the brake pipes and structural-related mounting issues seen in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the sills and suspension mounting points to ensure the repairs made in February 2026 are robust. The record shows recurring issues with corroded brake pipes dating back to 2024, which were frequently covered in grease to mask the extent of the rust. You should inspect these lines and the wheel arches to determine how much sound metal remains. Additionally, the nearside front track rod end and rear wishbone bushes were flagged for wear in the latest test, indicating that the suspension is nearing requiring replacement despite the low mileage.
