2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · YR66 YED

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 February 2025 with 105,967 miles without any recorded defects. While the record shows a failure on that same date, the immediate pass suggests the owner addressed the specific issues identified by the tester promptly. The lack of advisories across the last three successful tests indicates a vehicle that currently meets the minimum legal standards for the specific parameters monitored by the DVSA. The mileage progression is consistent with a typical commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per annum. Between the January 2023 test at 99,556 miles and the February 2025 test at 105,967 miles, the vehicle covered 6,311 miles in just fourteen months. This steady usage suggests regular operation rather than long periods of stagnation, which often leads to rubber seal degradation and seized brake components. The interval between tests remains consistent, indicating a proactive approach to maintaining the annual safety testing schedule. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most prone to wear on a Ford Transit at this mileage. Although the MOT record is clean of advisories, the commercial nature of the vehicle necessitates a close look at the suspension bushes, wish arms, and coil springs for signs of fatigue. Inspect the chassis for corrosion, particularly around the rear members and mounting points, as MOT tests only flag structural rust once it reaches significant thresholds. Given the previous failures in 2023 and 2025, verify the condition of the brake discs and the thickness of the pads to ensure no uneven wear is developing that the standard MOT test might not capture.
