Our Verdict
Exercise caution due to very high mileag
Prioritise a thorough chassis inspection. The MOT history repeatedly mentions corrosion in the suspension component mounting areas; you should verify if this has progressed beyond the 'not considered excessive' stage. Given the 205,007-mile odometer reading, request detailed evidence of engine maintenance, specifically timing belt and water pump replacements, which are critical for the 2.2L diesel engine's longevity.
Use the recurring corrosion advisories and the high mileage as primary points for price negotiation. Ensure any remaining advisories, such as the damaged mirror noted in May 2025, are addressed by the seller or factored into the final cost.
The 2.2L diesel engine is a staple for UK commercial use, offering a balance of power and economy, though fuel efficiency will be heavily dependent on load. This vehicle will fall into a standard tax bracket for 2011 diesel vans, and insurance costs will vary based on its insurance group and your usage profile.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for this model. With over 200,000 miles on the clock, the likelihood of wear-and-tear replacements for suspension components, brakes, and engine peripherals is high, particularly given the corrosion noted in the MOT history.
Focus your inspection on the underside of the vehicle. Specifically, check the nearside and offside rear suspension mounting areas and sills, as these were flagged for corrosion and damage in the 2024 and 2025 MOT tests. This is a known weak point for the model, which lists corrosion as a top failure reason in aggregate data.
Check the interior and exterior for the specific defects mentioned in the MOT records: inspect the offside front seat belt for damage and the offside front mirror for cracks. Additionally, check the filler neck area to ensure the breather hose mentioned in the 2022 test was properly replaced.
This 2011 white Ford Transit has covered 205,007 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average. The MOT history shows four consecutive passes, but records from 2022, 2024, and 2025 consistently flag corrosion and damage around the rear suspension mounting areas. Minor defects including mirror and seat belt damage further reflect its high-usage history.
The Ford Transit has an average MOT pass rate of 74.4%, with corrosion being identified as one of the most common reasons for failure across the model range.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2011 model year cars.
- SCV & PRV FailureModerate
The Suction Control Valve and Pressure Relief Valve on the common rail system frequently fail, leading to uneven idling and cutting out.
- Oil Pump Failure (2.2 Duratorq)Serious
Early 2.2-litre Euro 4/5 engines have a fragile oil pump design that can fail without warning, causing total engine seizure.
- Common-Rail Injector Blow-By and Seal FailureSerious
The copper injector sealing washers on 2.2 and 2.4 TDCi Duratorq engines degrade over time, permitting high-pressure combustion blow-by gases to escape up the injector body. This forms hard carbon deposits known as 'black death', risks bore wash, and can cause piston crown melting.
