2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · YP16 HBH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent testing history. The latest MOT conducted on 26 August 2025 at 146,178 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure occurred in late August 2024 at 139,842 miles, the subsequent pass just a few days later at 139,966 miles suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults immediately rather than allowing them to persist. The mileage data reflects a consistent and high-intensity usage pattern, averaging approximately 14,600 miles per year for the ten-year-old Ford Transit. Between October 2022 and August 2025, the vehicle covered 19,147 miles, showing a steady accumulation rather than long periods of stationary storage. This consistent use typically places predictable stress on heavy-duty components such as the drivetrain and braking systems. The lack of significant gaps between tests suggests the vehicle has remained in regular service, which often correlates with better mechanical health compared to vehicles subjected to neglect. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and underbody components, given the high-mileage nature of this commercial vehicle. Although the recent records are clean of advisories, the high mileage necessitates a close look at suspension bushes, coil springs, and ball joints for signs of premature wear or tearing. Checking the thickness of the brake discs and the condition of the calipers is also essential, as high-mile cycles frequently strain these systems. Furthermore, verify the structural integrity of the chassis to ensure that hidden corrosion has not compromised the frame, despite the MOT history not currently flagging structural failures.
