2011 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · NA11 DFY

The vehicle presents in a state of significant structural concern with a clear trend of worsening corrosion. While the Transit passed its most recent MOT on 1 June 2026 at 103,279 miles, this followed a major failure just two weeks prior. The May 2026 failure revealed critical structural weaknesses, including holed crossmembers and suspension component mounting areas that significantly reduced structural strength. Although the June pass indicates these specific failures were repaired or addressed, the presence of deep-seated corrosion across the chassis and sub-frame suggests the vehicle is nearing its structural limit. The recorded mileage of 103,279 miles over 15 years reflects an average usage of approximately 6,900 miles per year, which is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age. However, the data shows a notable gap between April 2024 at 95,279 miles and May 2025 at 99,932 miles, where only 4,650 miles were covered. This low annual mileage often correlates with the accelerated degradation of rubber components and the oxidation issues noted throughout the report. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and sub-frame to ensure the repairs made after the May failure are structurally sound. The history shows recurring issues with suspension mounting points and anti-roll bars, which indicate that the metal is thinning across multiple areas simultaneously. Particular attention should also be paid to the tipper box floor and power steering lines, as both have been flagged for corrosion and leaks in multiple tests. The persistent nature of the rust-related failures suggests the vehicle will likely require frequent structural intervention in the near future to remain roadworthy.
