2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · RF16 EYA

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 14 April 2025 at 141,319 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable in the short term, though the record shows a consistent pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes in the two most recent years. This suggests that the owner is proactive in rectifying faults once they are flagged by a tester, rather than following a rigorous preventative maintenance schedule that avoids defects before the annual inspection. At 141,319 miles over ten years, this Ford Transit has averaged approximately 14,100 miles per annum. This represents heavy commercial usage consistent with a work vehicle of this age. The data shows steady mileage accumulation, with 15,000 miles covered between April 2023 and April 2024, and another 16,000 miles between April 2024 and April 2025. Such consistent workload places significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system, which typically reach their wear limits at this mileage. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking system, as the high mileage often accelerates the degradation of coil springs, rubber bushes, and brake calipers. Given the history of failures followed by passes, specific attention must be paid to signs of weeping dampers or thinning brake discs that may have been addressed just prior to the tests. Check the structural integrity of the chassis for corrosion around the mounting points, ensuring the high-mileage use has not led to hidden structural fatigue beyond minor surface rust.
