2011 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · RF51 COB

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 24 April 2026 at 65,801 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This streak of clean results across the last five tests indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and has not suffered from the mechanical or structural failures common in commercial vans of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 15-year-old Transit, averaging approximately 4,387 miles per year. Between November 2021 and April 2026, the vehicle covered only 1,633 miles, suggesting very light use or long periods of being stationary. While this low mileage typically limits wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the lack of regular use can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based parts. The consistent annual testing interval in recent years suggests the vehicle has been kept regularly lubricated and operational despite the low annual distance driven. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection must focus on age-related factors rather than mileage-based wear. A buyer should scrutinise the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly along the door members and rear arches, as moisture can settle on vehicles that sit for extended periods. You should also examine suspension bushes and brake hoses for cracking or perishation, as these components degrade over time regardless of the mileage. Checking the brake discs for surface rust or pitting is also advisable, as low-frequency use often results in light corrosion on the braking surfaces.
