2016 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · YR66 BOH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive prevention. The most recent test in November 2025 at 113,809 miles shows a pass following a significant failure. While the owner addressed the immediate safety defects such as the rear brake pads and stop lamps, the presence of a non-excessive oil leak and worn rear brake discs appearing in both the failure and the subsequent pass records suggests a persistent mechanical condition that has not yet been fully rectified. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 11,400 miles per year. The record shows steady annual usage, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 10,700 miles recorded between October 2024 and November 2025. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has been used for consistent work purposes, which typically results in predictable wear on heavy-duty components common to the Ford Transit chassis. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system and suspension assembly. The history reveals recurring issues with brake components, ranging from pitted front discs in 2024 to worn rear discs and thin pads in 2025. The nearside front brake hose was previously flagged as chafed and twisted, which requires physical verification to ensure no structural degradation has occurred since. Furthermore, the oil misting on the front shock absorbers noted in 2023 should be monitored for increased leaking, as this often indicates impending seal failure. The persistent oil leak noted in late 2025 also demands a professional assessment to determine if it is a minor gasket issue or a more serious engine seal failure.
