2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · MJ16 WFF

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a trend of improving mechanical presentation. The most recent test on July 1, 2026 at 139,149 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that previous issues have been addressed. This follows a clean pass in November 2024 at 129,393 miles, suggesting the vehicle has maintained a consistent maintenance standard over the last two years. The mileage pattern reflects consistent high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per annum over its ten-year life. There is a significant jump in usage between December 2020 and December 2021, where the vehicle covered over 21,000 miles in 12 months. Furthermore, the vehicle added nearly 15,000 miles between January 2023 and November 2024. This high annual mileage suggests heavy commercial application, which naturally accelerates the wear on heavy-duty components and drivetrain assemblies. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the record shows a history of excessively worn nearside lower suspension arm bushes in late 2021. While the 2023 failure for a split nearside drive shaft CV boot was rectified, a visual check for grease leakage or rubber tearing is necessary to ensure the repair persists. The front brake discs also showed significant wear in 2021, requiring a check of current pad thickness and surface condition to ensure they are not nearing another replacement interval. The recurring failure of the windscreen washer system in 2020 and 2023 indicates a history of neglecting minor non-safety items. While these do not impact immediate roadworthiness risk, they highlight a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. Given the high mileage and age of this Ford Transit, the chassis should also be inspected for structural corrosion, particularly around the mounting points and rear arches where heavy use is common on this model.
