2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · YP16 ACX

The vehicle is currently road‑worthy, having passed the MOT on 6 August 2026 at 132,446 miles. The recent pass follows a failure recorded two days earlier, but the failure concerned only a registration‑plate lamp and a few minor component wear items, indicating that the overall maintenance trend has stabilised rather than deteriorated. Mileage has risen from 26,325 miles on 25 January 2019 to 132,446 miles on 6 August 2026, an average of roughly 13,200 miles per year. The most rapid increments appear between 22 June 2023 (73,531 miles) and 7 August 2024 (94,815 miles), where the vehicle added over 21,000 miles in just fourteen months. This high annual mileage suggests heavy use and accelerated consumable wear, yet the MOT record shows no long gaps without testing, implying regular inspections. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the front and rear suspension arms, especially the pins and bushes that have been flagged repeatedly as worn or excessively worn. The off‑side front CV gaiter, noted as deteriorating in both 2026 tests, warrants close inspection for grease leakage or joint noise. The missing nearside rear bump stop and loose inner wheel‑arch liner should be checked for proper fit and any resultant chassis stress. Brake components merit particular attention: uneven rear inner pad wear, prior front disc weakening, and thin rear pads indicate a need to assess disc thickness and pad uniformity. The windscreen shows damage both inside and out, and the registration‑plate lamp remains inoperative; confirming that these visual and lighting issues have been remedied will avoid immediate re‑testing. Finally, the slight play observed on the nearside front wheel bearing in 2025 should be examined for any progression to bearing failure.
