2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · MJ16 AAO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean result in its most recent inspection. The MOT test conducted on 19 September 2025 at 166,560 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a successful pass in September 2024 at 144,106 miles, suggesting that the current owner is addressing any issues that may have arisen during the interval. The mileage profile reflects consistent high-intensity commercial use, averaging approximately 16,600 miles per annum. Between July 2023 and September 2025, the vehicle covered over 47,000 miles in just two years, which confirms a heavy operational schedule. While there was a failure recorded on 26 September 2024 at 144,096 miles, the vehicle was re-tested and passed just four days later. This rapid turnaround suggests the failure was due to a minor consumable or adjustment item that was rectified immediately, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most susceptible to high-mileage Transit stress. Given the 166,560-mile reading, close attention to the suspension bushes, coil springs, and wish arms is necessary to check for excessive play or wear. The record shows no recurring structural corrosion issues, but the high annual mileage necessitates a thorough check of the chassis for integrity, particularly where debris may accumulate. Also inspect the braking system for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, as the heavy usage cycle puts significant thermal strain on these components over time.
