2016 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · WR66 XRM

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 14 May 2025 at 126,166 miles with no recorded defects. This clean pass indicates an improving maintenance trend following the intervention required during the May 2024 test. The previous history shows a period of neglect regarding consumable components, but the most recent inspection confirms these issues were rectified, leaving the vehicle in a stable roadworthy condition as of its last assessment thirteen months ago. The vehicle has accumulated 126,166 miles over a ten-year lifespan, averaging approximately 12,600 miles annually. This consistent usage pattern suggests the van has been used for regular commercial or heavy-duty transport rather than sitting idle for extended periods. A significant spike in mileage occurred between November 2022 and November 2023, where the vehicle covered over 17,000 miles in twelve months, followed by a further 10,000 miles by May 2024. This high-intensity usage cycle explains the premature wear noted on the braking system during the 2024 inspection. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the brake discs and pads, as the 2024 record explicitly flagged pitting and thinning. While these were passed at the subsequent test, the high annual mileage means these components are subject to rapid degradation. Check the condition of the front brake pipes for any lingering surface corrosion, as the previous report noted the presence of grease or protective coatings that may have been used to mask or delay necessary repairs. Given the commercial nature of this Ford Transit, verify the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension mounting points, as high-mileage examples often suffer from fatigue in these areas despite clean MOT records.
