2016 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · YR66 ORF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding deferred mechanical repairs. While it passed its most recent test in May 2025 at 156,505 miles, the record reveals persistent mechanical issues that have remained across multiple years. The appearance of a severely deteriorated CV boot and steering rack seepage in the latest test, alongside ongoing oil leaks, suggests that the owner is only addressing faults once they reach an MOT failure threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 156,505 miles over ten years old, this Ford Transit has averaged approximately 15,650 miles per year, placing it in a high-use category for its age. The data shows consistent mileage accumulation, with nearly 41,000 miles covered between April 2022 and May 2025. This high annual mileage puts significant strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. The recurring failure of tyres reaching legal limits in 2022 and 2023 indicates that basic consumable upkeep is frequently neglected until the end of the annual inspection cycle. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the steering and drivetrain systems. The steering rack seepage noted in both 2024 and 2025 suggests a looming hydraulic failure that will be costly to rectify. Furthermore, the nearside front outer CV boot requires immediate inspection for grease loss and potential joint damage, as deterioration leads to rapid mechanical failure. The history of missing rear bump stops, which persisted from 2023 through 2025, further points to a reactive approach to suspension maintenance that could lead to uneven wear on components under heavy loads.
