Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and thorough inspec
When inspecting this Transit, prioritise a detailed check of the suspension and drivetrain. The 2024 MOT failure noted a split offside front outer drive shaft CV boot, so ensure this has been replaced and that there are no unusual clicking noises when turning the steering wheel.
You should also request evidence of recent tyre replacements and wheel repairs. The vehicle has a recurring history of tyre issues (worn edges and exposed cords) and distorted wheels (noted in both 2024 and 2025). Check the current tread depth and look for uneven wear, which could indicate alignment issues. Finally, verify that the coolant levels and any previous leaks have been addressed following the 2024 failure.
As a 2.2L diesel van, running costs will be driven largely by fuel consumption and commercial usage. Insurance groups for Ford Transits vary depending on the driver profile and load capacity, so obtain a quote specifically for this registration.
Maintenance costs for this model can fluctuate based on the frequency of component replacements like tyres and brakes. Given the recorded history of wheel distortion and tyre wear, you should budget for regular tyre maintenance. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, are expected to be in the mid-to-high range for a commercial vehicle of this age.
Focus heavily on the wheels and tyres. The MOT history shows multiple instances of 'road wheel slightly distorted' and tyres being 'worn close to legal limit' or having 'ply or cords exposed'. Inspect all four wheels for dents or bends and ensure the tyres are matched and have healthy tread.
Check the drive shafts and boots. The 2024 failure specifically cited a split CV boot on the offside front; ensure this part is in good condition and not leaking grease. Additionally, check the cooling system, as the 2024 record noted 'coolant low', which could indicate a slow leak that needs investigating.
This 2016 Ford Transit (WF16FVB) has covered 93,474 miles since its first registration in April 2016. The MOT history shows a pattern of maintenance issues, specifically regarding tyre wear, wheel distortion, and a split CV boot in 2024. Although the 2026 MOT passed with no defects, the vehicle's mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 8,947 miles per year.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 74.4%, with common failures often involving headlamps, corrosion, and tyres.
