2011 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · OU61 XHD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward mechanical wear and structural degradation. The most recent test on 11 November 2025 at 195,426 miles identified a non-excessive oil leak and corrosion on the offside rear inner wheel arch. This marks a departure from the previous three years where the vehicle passed with no recorded defects, suggesting that the components are beginning to reach fatigue typical of high mileage and age. The mileage accumulation is consistent with heavy commercial use, averaging approximately 13,000 miles per year over the last four recorded tests. Between November 2021 at 129,649 miles and November 2025 at 195,426 miles, the Transit covered over 65,000 miles. This steady rate of travel indicates the engine and drivetrain have been utilized regularly rather than sitting idle, but it places significant stress on the suspension and braking systems nearing the 200,000-mile mark. A buyer must prioritize a physical structural inspection of the offside rear inner wheel arch to determine the depth of the corrosion noted in the latest report. While the oil leak was deemed non-excessive, a close examination of the engine seals and sump area is necessary to identify the source and Ensure it does not worsen rapidly. Given the high mileage, the way bushes, coil springs, and brake lines should be checked for signs of advanced wear that the way testing may have overlooked.
