2011 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · UG03 CAB

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 18 November 2025 at 174,400 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. The failure on 5 November 2025 occurred just 39 miles prior to the pass, suggesting a minor defect or a consumable item that was rectified quickly by the owner rather than a systemic mechanical failure or structural issue. At 174,400 miles, this 15-year-old Ford Transit has averaged approximately 11,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical commercial usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation is consistent between test intervals, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between September 2024 and March 2025, and another 3,200 miles between March 2025 and November 2025. This regular usage suggests the vehicle is driven regularly, which helps prevent the degradation of seals and components associated with long of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the chassis integrity and suspension components, as high-mileage Transits frequently suffer from corrosion on the mounting points and leaf springs. While the recent tests show no recorded defects, the previous failures in 2024 and 2025 indicate that the owner is attentive to items that fail the MOT threshold. Given the mileage, a thorough check of the brake calipers for binding and the condition of the suspension bushes is necessary to ensure the vehicle is not nearing the end of its structural life despite the clean recent certificates.
