2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · SP65 VWJ

The 2016 Ford Transit presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at the most recent test on 2025-03-29 at 149,263 miles. Every recorded MOT from 2020 through 2025 returned a pass with no defects or advisories logged by the tester. The maintenance history shows no worsening faults, no recurring mechanical issues, and no structural or emissions concerns raised across the five available entries. The van has covered 149,263 miles in roughly ten years, an average of about 14,926 miles per year which is high for a light commercial of this age. Mileage accumulation was steady rather than sporadic: the tester recorded 130,010 miles on 2020-12-02, 134,318 on 2021-12-31, 139,333 on 2023-01-03, 144,317 on 2024-03-02, and 149,263 on 2025-03-29. A gap sits between the December 2021 and January 2023 tests where no intermediate entry exists, but the recorded distances suggest continuous use rather than long standing periods. The clean sheet across all dates implies the previous keeper kept basic consumables and structural items within test limits. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high annual mileage and age. The MOT record flags no corrosion or binding calipers, yet ten years of road salt and load use can hide early structural fatigue not caught in a pass result. Verify the condition of tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions during a viewing. Given the absence of advisories across five tests, the vehicle shows a consistent upkeep pattern with no skipped essentials. The high mileage demands scrutiny of drivetrain wear and chassis rust before purchase, but the DVSA data alone supports a sound mechanical baseline.
