2011 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · YP11 XNB

The 2025‑11‑07 MOT passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the van is presently roadworthy, but the preceding 2025‑11‑05 test showed a failure that was rectified before the subsequent pass, indicating a short‑term improvement rather than a long‑term trend of consistent maintenance. The mileage has risen from 181,488 miles at the 2023‑11‑08 test to 206,664 miles by 2024‑11‑01, a gain of 25,176 miles in one year, and then to 219,149 miles by 2025‑11‑07, an additional 12,485 miles in the following eleven months, reflecting a high annual usage of roughly 14,600 miles for a 15‑year‑old vehicle. A buyer should therefore inspect the front suspension ball joints for excessive wear, the off‑side front wheel bearing for play, and the condition of the coil springs and shock absorbers, while also checking the windscreen for cracks, the near‑side mirror mounting, and the wiring of the position lamp; the earlier engine MIL fault warrants a diagnostic scan of the engine management system, and the brake discs, calipers and tyre tread should be examined for uneven wear or binding given the high mileage and previous advisories.
