2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · SP14 AMP

The 2016 Ford Transit passed its most recent MOT test on 12 September 2025 at 69,759 miles, despite severe deterioration of both nearside and offside front drive shaft joint constant velocity boots, and slight damage to the rear tyres. This indicates a worsening trend in maintenance, with recurring issues in the drive shaft joints and tyres. The recorded mileage of 69,759 miles over approximately 10 years equates to an average annual mileage of around 6,976 miles, which is roughly typical for its age. However, the recent MOT history reveals a notable gap in mileage accumulation between 2022 and 2024, with a 4,864-mile increase in just 12 months. This rapid mileage accumulation may have contributed to the observed wear on consumables and mechanical components. Conversely, the mileage pattern between 2020 and 2022 was relatively stable, with no notable defects recorded during this period. Upon inspecting the vehicle, a buyer should pay particular attention to the drive shaft joints, as both nearside and offside boots have been severely deteriorated in the past two MOT tests. The rear tyres, which have shown slight damage in the past, should also be inspected for any signs of further deterioration or wear. Additionally, the buyer should examine the exhaust back box for any signs of corrosion, as it was flagged in the 2023 MOT test. Furthermore, the power steering fluid level and brake discs should be checked, as the power steering fluid level was low in 2019, and the brake discs showed signs of wear in the same year.
