2011 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · PN61 AEZ

The most recent MOT test on 7 March 2023 at 141,932 miles resulted in a failure with no defects formally recorded, which leaves the current roadworthiness of this 2011 Ford Transit unverified. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly on 15 November 2021 at 134,214 miles after a failed attempt three days earlier at 134,210 miles, also with no listed defects. The maintenance trend shows a clean record from 2019 through 2020 and a late-2021 pass, but the unexplained 2023 failure means the buyer cannot assume the van meets road standards today without a fresh test. Mileage accumulation has been moderate for a fifteen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 111,021 miles on 18 November 2019, rising to 121,752 by 13 November 2020 and 134,214 by 15 November 2021, an average of roughly 9,500 miles per year. A gap then exists between November 2021 and the March 2023 failure at 141,932 miles, during which only 7,718 miles were added. The data is sparse with no advisories logged, so we cannot track consumable wear such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes from the record itself. The two failed tests in November 2021 and March 2023 with no defects recorded suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than logged mechanical faults, but they prevent any confirmation of structural integrity, exhaust emissions, or corrosion status. A buyer should commission an independent inspection of the chassis for rust, check the coil springs and suspension bushes for fatigue, and verify brake caliper operation given the age and unknown standing periods. Given the absence of advisories across all tests, previous keepers appear to have presented the Transit for minimal formal scrutiny rather than detailed maintenance disclosure. The unexplained failures hint the van may have sat idle or changed hands without resolution. A current full MOT and physical underside examination are essential before purchase.
