2011 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · YK11 AFF

The most recent MOT test on June 2, 2025, confirms this 2011 Ford Transit remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 146,184 miles. The absence of advisories or failures across all five tests—spanning from August 2019 to June 2025—indicates a stable maintenance history without recurring mechanical issues. While the latest test is just over a year old, it falls within the acceptable 12-month window for a vehicle of this age and mileage. The lack of any advisory notes suggests previous owners addressed minor wear items promptly, though a thorough in-person inspection remains essential to verify components like suspension integrity and brake condition. The recorded mileage progression shows consistent usage without abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. From 71,223 miles in August 2019 to 146,184 miles in June 2025, the vehicle averages approximately 9,746 miles per year, a rate typical for a commercial or mixed-use Transit. There are no significant gaps in mileage between tests, ruling out extended periods of neglect. However, the 2020-2021 interval—covering 82,979 to 113,106 miles—shows a slightly slower accumulation, which could imply lighter usage or seasonal variations, but nothing alarming. Given the clean MOT history, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear components that aren’t directly tested in the MOT but critical to long-term reliability. Focus on the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, as these often degrade gradually without immediate MOT failure. The brake system warrants close examination, including rear caliper binding (a common issue in older Transits) and front disc thickness, even though no failures were recorded. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, should be checked for corrosion, as this model is prone to rust progression over 15 years. Finally, verify the exhaust system for leaks or excessive corrosion, as emissions-related faults are rarely flagged until they become severe.
