2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · YS16 WUU

The 2016 Ford Transit passed its most recent MOT test on 2025-08-11 with 102,424 miles recorded. The maintenance trend appears to be worsening, with the tester flagging severe deterioration of key components such as the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover and nearside front outer drive shaft joint constant velocity boot. This suggests that the vehicle's upkeep has been inadequate, particularly in the areas of suspension and drivetrain maintenance. The recorded mileage of 102,424 miles, accumulated over about 10 years, is roughly typical for its age. However, a closer examination of the MOT history reveals some notable gaps in maintenance. The vehicle's mileage increased significantly between 2023 and 2024, with 12,000 miles added in just over a year. Furthermore, the recent MOT test flagged severe deterioration of key components, which may indicate a lack of regular maintenance during this period. The 2024-08-22 failed test, which was followed by a passed test just six days later, also raises concerns about the thoroughness of the repairs carried out. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension and drivetrain components in person, paying close attention to the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover and nearside front outer drive shaft joint constant velocity boot, which were flagged as severely deteriorated in the recent MOT test. Additionally, the vehicle's tyres should be inspected for wear, as the recent MOT test noted that both front tyres were worn close to the legal limit. The buyer should also examine the vehicle's rear tyres, which were noted as slightly damaged and cracking or perishing in the 2024-08-28 test.
