2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · MT16 YED

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record following a minor testing setback. The most recent inspection conducted on 30 June 2025 at 125,868 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all safety and environmental standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2022 and 2023, suggesting that the current owner is maintaining the vehicle to a standard that prevents immediate mechanical or structural failures. The mileage data reflects consistent heavy commercial use, averaging approximately 12,600 miles per annum. There is a significant data anomaly noted between the September 2021 test at 136,011 miles and the September 2022 test at 97,529 miles, which suggests either an odometer rollback or a recording error during the testing process. Since that point, the vehicle has accumulated over 28,000 miles in three years, maintaining a steady rate of use typical for a Transit van. This high-mileage profile places considerable strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and as, as high mileage often accelerates corrosion in load-bearing areas. While the record shows no recurring defects, the failure in September 2022 at 97,512 miles indicates a specific issue required immediate attention prior to the subsequent pass. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake condition is essential to ensure that wear has not reached the end of its functional life regardless of the clean MOT cycle.
