2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · NJ66 YOX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive service pattern rather than proactive upkeep. While it passed the most recent test in October 2025 at 93,069 miles, the record shows a worsening trend regarding neglected braking components. The tester flagged pitted rear brake discs and thin pads, alongside a corroded offside rear brake pipe. These issues suggest that the previous owners have only addressed mechanical faults when they reach the MOT failure threshold rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance between tests. At 93,069 miles over ten years, the Ford Transit has averaged approximately 9,300 miles per year, which is consistent with typical light commercial usage for this age. The mileage accumulation is steady, with roughly 7,000 miles driven between the October 2023 and October 2024 tests, and another 8,300 miles leading up to the 2025 inspection. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, though the consistent use has clearly contributed to the accelerated wear observed on the suspension and braking systems. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front drivetrain and suspension system. The 2024 failure highlighted multiple split CV boots on the inner and outer drive shaft joints, which can lead to expensive joint failure if not replaced promptly. Furthermore, the 2023 failure for excessively worn front suspension arm bushes indicates that the front-end geometry is prone to degradation. The buyer should also verify the status of the front lower oil leak noted in 2024 to ensure it has not worsened into a significant fluid loss.
