2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · T12 FBS

The 2016 Ford Transit holds a passed MOT dated 2 April 2025 at 99,907 miles, though that test sits fifteen months behind today's date of 9 July 2026 and the certificate has since lapsed. Maintenance trend reads stable, with no defects recorded across any examination. Two failed tests on 15 February 2024 at 96,703 miles and on the same April 2025 date at 99,892 miles show no logged faults, pointing to administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical decline. Mileage stands at 99,907 against a ten-year life, averaging near 9,991 miles per year, a typical load for a Transit. The van covered 91,401 miles at its 10 October 2022 pass, then 96,970 miles by 3 April 2024, a gentle 5,569-mile gain over seventeen months. A further 2,937 miles appeared by the April 2025 retest. The sparse record between late 2022 and spring 2024 leaves a documentation gap, but clean defect entries suggest steady use without rapid accumulation. No recurring advisories appear in the DVSA data, so the buyer must verify mechanical condition independently. A physical inspection should scrutinise suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers for binding, alongside structural integrity at chassis legs and sill sections for corrosion. The tester noted no exhaust emissions failures, yet diesel drivetrain mounts and turbo plumbing warrant hands-on checks given the vehicle class. Previous keepers submitted the van for immediate retest after each failure with zero defects cited, implying clerical slips at testing stations or minor warning-light resets rather than skipped consumable care. Obtain service invoices to confirm tyre tread, wiper blades and fluid changes were kept current, as the MOT alone cannot evidence such basic upkeep.
