2011 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · WA61 ACU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, demonstrating a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 April 2025 at 86,821 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just two days prior at 86,755 miles. This suggests the owner is proactive in rectifying immediate issues to ensure the vehicle meets legal standards, as the mechanical condition has consistently passed without lingering advisories over the last two years. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old Ford Transit, averaging approximately 5,788 miles per year. Between April 2023 and April 2024, the vehicle covered 11,819 miles, while it covered only 18,466 miles in the following year leading up to the 2025 tests. This pattern indicates consistent light use rather than heavy commercial strain, though the low annual mileage on a vehicle of this age often points to age-related degradation of rubber components and seals, which occur regardless of the distance recorded on the odometer. Given the clean nature of the MOT records, a physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the suspension system. Low-mileage vans are prone to brake corrosion due to periods of standing and cracking in suspension bushes or coil springs from age and lack of regular movement. The buyer should also check the exhaust system for surface rust or structural thinning, as the MOT history does not rule out deep-seated corrosion that typically affects older Ford Transit models.
