2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · YP65 GVK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 1 June 2026 at 161,371 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of noted wear in 2025. While the previous test identified specific mechanical issues, the clean sheet from the most recent inspection suggests that the owner addressed the flagged suspension and consumable faults identified in the prior year. The mileage profile reflects consistent high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 16,000 miles per year over its ten-year life. Between May 2024 and June 2026, the vehicle covered 32,304 miles, indicating a heavy operational workload typical of a commercial Ford Transit. This rapid accumulation suggests the vehicle has likely been used for long-distance transit, which places significant cumulative stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system compared to lower-mileage examples. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front-end suspension geometry. The offside front lower suspension arm pin or bush was flagged in both May 2024 at 129,067 miles and May 2025 at 146,705 miles. Although the 2026 test was clear, the recurring nature of this fault necessitates a check for play in the arms or further degradation of the rubber bushings. Additionally, the 2025 advisory regarding uneven tyre wear on both front tyres indicates potential alignment issues or worn shock components that should be verified to prevent premature tyre failure.
