2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · YN16 OHA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its latest MOT on 6 May 2026 at 87,255 miles. However, the history reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. A failure occurred just one day prior at 87,245 miles due to a split offside front CV boot, thin rear brake pads, and a corroded rear axle brake pipe. While these defects were rectified, the recurring nature of the failures suggests the owner only addresses mechanical issues when they threaten an MOT. The mileage progression is consistent with a ten-year-old van, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. Between February 2023 at 62,960 miles and March 2025 at 80,382 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 17,000 miles, indicating steady annual use. There are no significant gaps in the testing schedule that suggest long periods of sitting, though the consistent mileage explains the gradual degradation of rubber components and metalwork noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension and braking systems, as the rear wishbone bushes were flagged as worn in 2024 and brake pipes have shown corrosion across multiple years. The persistent corrosion on the rear axle brake pipe noted in 2026 is a particular concern as structural integrity of fluid lines can deteriorate rapidly if not monitored. Additionally, verify the offside front CV boot for any signs of grease leakage, as the previous failure indicates this component is prone to premature wear on this vehicle.
