Our Verdict
This 2016 Ford Transit has a mixed MOT history with recurring suspension issues, but remains a practical choice for buyers prepared to address mechanical concerns. Exercise caution and negotiate price accordingly.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension system, focusing on track rod ends and steering components. Verify if repair records exist for the 2024 MOT failures. Check service history for regular maintenance, particularly brake and tyre replacements. Negotiate price based on the 2024 failure and recurring suspension concerns. Be wary of potential hidden costs from worn steering components.
Diesel fuel economy for the 2.2L engine typically ranges 30-40 mpg. Tax band depends on CO2 emissions (likely £145/year for 2016 models). Insurance group 10-12 is typical for this era. Major maintenance costs could include suspension repairs (track rod ends £150-300 each). Estimated annual running cost £1,200-£1,500 including fuel, tax, and basic maintenance.
Focus on the front suspension system, checking for play in track rod ends and tie rods. Inspect tyres for uneven wear patterns and ensure tread depth meets legal requirements. Test windscreen washer operation and check for fluid leaks. Examine chassis for rust or corrosion, common in older commercial vehicles. During test drive, monitor steering responsiveness and handling.
The vehicle shows 115,459 miles for its age, with a mix of passed and failed MOTs. Repeated track rod end play issues (2024) and tyre wear (2022) suggest potential maintenance costs. While no aggregate reliability data exists, the model's reputation as a durable commercial vehicle persists.
While no aggregate data exists for this specific model, Ford Transits are generally regarded as reliable commercial vehicles when properly maintained.
