2016 Ford Transit Custom 290 ECO-Tech 2.2L Diesel · WV16 ACZ

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable maintenance trend and remains roadworthy based on the available data. The most recent MOT on 23 October 2025 at 85,238 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to April 2021, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 8,524 miles per year. Usage patterns show a steady increase, moving from 50,146 miles in April 2021 to 85,238 miles by October 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or sudden changes in duty cycle. The absence of any advisories over the last five years is unusual for a commercial vehicle of this age. The tester flagged no issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions across multiple tests. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical failure or structural corrosion in the DVSA records. A physical inspection should still focus on common Transit Custom wear points that MOT tests sometimes overlook. Check for oil leaks around the engine seals and inspect the condition of the clutch and flywheel. While the record is clean, verifying the service history for oil changes and timing belt replacements will confirm if the mechanical care matches the MOT performance.
