2011 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · MM11 SZG

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a failure to address recurring deep-seated structural and mechanical issues. While it passed its last test in August 2022 at 101,955 miles, this followed a significant failure earlier that month where critical safety defects were identified. The maintenance trend shows a persistent pattern of neglected components, particularly regarding the braking system and chassis integrity, suggesting that repairs are performed reactively and minimally rather than proactively. At 101,955 miles over 15 years, the Ford Transit has averaged approximately 6,800 miles per year. This low mileage is typical for a commercial vehicle of this age. However, the data reveals a significant gap in testing history, with the last recorded MOT occurring in August 2022. As of June 2026, the vehicle has gone nearly four years without an official safety check. This long interval of inactivity leaves the current state of the mechanical and structural components unknown, especially given the tendency for corrosion to degrade metal over time as noted in previous inspections. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis, specifically the nearside rear inner suspension mounting which was flagged for excessive corrosion that reduced structural strength in 2021. The record shows chronic corrosion of the brake pipes across multiple years from 2020 to 2022, indicating a systemic issue with rust protection or an attempt to mask the decay with grease. The tester should also verify the anti-roll bar linkages and wheel bearings, which have previously demonstrated as points of failure. The persistent engine oil leak noted in every consecutive test suggests an ongoing weeping seal that the previous owner chose not to rectify.
