2011 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · NG11 NNP

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of deferred attention regarding braking components. The most recent test in November 2025 at 131,574 miles passed despite pitted and scored brake discs and new play in the nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint. While the vehicle consistently passes its MOT, the recurring nature of these faults across multiple years suggests the owner addresses issues only at the minimum legal requirement rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 15 years old with 131,574 miles, this Transit has averaged approximately 8,772 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns with intervals of roughly 2,200 to 2,800 miles recorded between the annual tests from 2021 to 2025. This steady mileage accumulation indicates the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of standing, which explains the gradual degradation and corrosion of metal components noted in the inspection reports. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the entire braking system and chassis. Records show corrosion on multiple brake pipes dating back to 2021, with faults appearing on the nearside, offside rear, and central lines over four years. This indicates a systemic vulnerability to rust or a lack of underbody protection. Furthermore, the repeated pitting and scoring of the discs suggest they are nearing the end of their functional life. The newly flagged anti-roll bar ball joint identified in the 2025 test indicates that suspension components are now beginning to fail, necessitating a close check of all bushes, joints, and coil springs to ensure immediate mechanical integrity.
