2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · YM65 TTK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the MOT history shows a significant lapse in recent testing. The most recent inspection conducted on February 2022 at 139,164 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure for a non-functional windscreen washer. Since no MOT has been recorded for over four years, the current mechanical condition of the vehicle is unverified and poses a significant risk regarding the state of safety-critical components since the last official check. The mileage profile indicates high annual usage, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per year over its ten-year life. Between January 2019 at 77,647 miles and January 2020 at 101,039 miles, the vehicle covered over 23,000 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation places heavy strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. The gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests shows another jump of nearly 19,000 miles, suggesting consistent heavy commercial use rather than periods of standing stationary. A buyer must inspect the braking system thoroughly, as the 2020 test at 101,039 miles flagged pitted and scored discs on both front and rear axles. Given the high mileage and the time elapsed since the last test, the calipers should be checked for binding and the pads for thinning. The inspection should also focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension bushings, as high-mileage Transits frequently suffer from accelerated wear in these areas that are not always captured in basic MOT advisories.
