2016 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · YR66 MUP

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state based on the most recent MOT pass on 17 November 2025. The maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable, as the record shows a consistent history of passes without any recorded defects or advisories over the last four years. The failure on the same day as the most recent pass suggests a minor administrative or immediate-fix issue rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage is high for a ten year old vehicle, averaging over 20,000 miles per year. There has been a significant increase in usage recently, with the odometer climbing from 153,878 miles in April 2023 to 206,544 miles by November 2025. This indicates the van has covered over 52,000 miles in less than three years, placing substantial stress on the drivetrain and chassis. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage necessitates a physical inspection of high-wear components. A buyer should specifically check the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these typically degrade under such heavy use. The absence of recorded brake or tyre advisories is positive, but the physical state of the brake discs and pads should be verified to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life. Attention must be paid to the structural integrity of the chassis. High-mileage Transits are prone to corrosion in the sills and underbody, which is not always flagged if the vehicle is cleaned before a test. A thorough check for rust and oil leaks around the engine and gearbox is recommended to ensure the mechanical health matches the clean paperwork.
