2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · SV16 JYA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in July 2025 with 122,144 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable despite a minor failure recorded just one day prior to that test. The split nearside front outer drive shaft CV boot was clearly rectified immediately to allow for a pass, suggesting that the owner is responsive to safety-critical repair requirements rather than allowing mechanical faults to persist. The mileage data reflects a consistent high-usage pattern of approximately 12,000 miles per annum, which is typical for a heavy-duty commercial vehicle. Between July 2022 and July 2023, the vehicle covered 20,761 miles, followed by another jump of 22,273 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests. This rapid accumulation places significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension components, though the lack of advisories in the later tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained under this load. A physical inspection should focus heavily on the suspension and braking systems. The July 2023 test at 86,897 miles identified wear on the nearside rear suspension arm bush and pitting across all front brake discs. While the vehicle passed subsequent tests, the high mileage indicates that these rubber components and metal surfaces are prone to accelerated degradation. The buyer should inspect the nearside front drive shaft for any signs of grease leakage to ensure the recent repair remains effective and check the remaining thickness of the brake discs to estimate remaining life.
