2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · YC16 TFY

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted in April 2023 at 30,470 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This stability indicates a consistent maintenance trend where the vehicle has not suffered from recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation that would trigger a fail during the annual testing process. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2016 Ford Transit, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per annum. Between April 2019 and April 2023, the vehicle covered only 16,118 miles, suggesting very light use or long periods of inactivity. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it introduces specific risks related to age-related rubber perish and fluid breakdown. The data shows a steady accumulation of roughly 4,000 miles per year recently, without any sudden spikes in heavy usage. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection must focus on components affected by time and stationary storage rather than just distance. A buyer should check for flat spotting on tyres, perished suspension bushes, and seized brake calipers which often occur despite low mileage. Given the vehicle is ten years old, a close look at the structural integrity of the chassis and underside is essential to ensure that corrosion has not begun to develop in areas that the MOT tester may not have prioritised.
