2016 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · X9 FPS

The July 2025 MOT at 179,269 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness. The immediate prior failure on 2025-07-07 showed multiple faults that were evidently remedied before the subsequent test. The mileage trajectory reveals accelerated use: from 105,270 miles in December 2021 the vehicle accumulated roughly 24,300 miles in the following year, and a further 29,700 miles in the next 18 months, indicating heavy annual usage for a 2016 model. The interval between the December 2023 test and the July 2025 test spans 15 months, leaving the maintenance status uncertain during that period. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension geometry, paying close attention to the ball joints and suspension arms that have repeatedly been flagged as excessively worn, and verify that any previous advisories concerning the offside rear brake pipe corrosion and split CV boots have been fully repaired. Examination of the power steering hose for leaks, the condition of the headlamp and registration lamp circuits, and the tread depth and edge wear of the tyres is essential, as these items have recurred across multiple tests. Finally, a detailed assessment of the brake system, including pad thickness, disc condition, and pipe integrity, will confirm whether the earlier brake wear and corrosion issues have been addressed.
