2011 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · YP61 XWR

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent MOT on 14 November 2025 at 108,558 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a consistent pattern of immediate failures followed by passes on the same day of testing. In both 2024 and 2025, the vehicle failed the initial test but was cleared and passed shortly thereafter at the same mileage. This suggests that minor defects or consumable items are addressed only when prompted by the tester rather than as part of proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 15-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. Between the 16 November 2023 test and the 15 November 2024 test, the van covered 8,755 miles, indicating regular and predictable use rather than long periods of inactivity. This steady usage generally reduces the risk of dry rot in seals or seized components, though it ensures that suspension and drivetrain parts are subjected to standard wear and tear consistent with age. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that likely triggered the recent failures, as the record does not specify the exact faults. Given the age and model of this Transit, a close examination of the structural integrity of the chassis members and floor pans is essential to check for hidden corrosion. You should also inspect suspension bushes for perish and check the brake calipers for binding. Because the vehicle frequently fails just before passing, it is likely the owner operates on the edge of legal limits for components like tyres, wiper blades, and lighting.
