2023 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · ML72 AFK

The 2026‑02‑24 MOT at 80,985 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend after the earlier failure was remedied. The vehicle’s recorded mileage of 80,985 miles at a 2023 registration means an average annual usage of roughly 27,000 miles, which is high for a three‑year‑old van and suggests intensive use rather than long periods of inactivity; the one‑mile increase between the 2026‑02‑23 failed test and the 2026‑02‑24 passed test shows continuous operation with no extended idle periods. A buyer should therefore inspect the off‑side front tyre bulge for possible suspension or wheel‑arch damage, examine the condition of all four tyres for uneven wear that may point to alignment or suspension bush wear, verify the integrity of the front and rear brake discs and calipers for binding or excessive wear, and check the chassis and wheel‑arch areas for structural rust or corrosion that could compromise safety.
