2008 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · AU08 AFN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the latest MOT data. The most recent test conducted on 2 December 2025 at 85,119 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets regulatory standards. This follows a clean pass in December 2024 at 81,765 miles, suggesting that the previous owner has maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids immediate mechanical failure during the testing process. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eighteen-year-old Transit, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. Data shows a period of higher activity between July 2024 and December 2024, where the vehicle covered 1,420 miles in just five months. However, the gap between the July 2023 test and the June 2024 test shows a year where only 4,224 miles were driven. While low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to degradation of rubber components and brake systems due to lack of use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components, as age-related corrosion is the primary risk for low-mileage commercial vehicles of this era. Check the underside for significant rust and examine cracked rubber bushes or seized brake calipers which often manifest on stationary vehicles. The failure in June 2024 at 80,344 miles was rectified quickly given the pass one month later, but the specific nature of that fault should be verified to ensure the mechanical issue does not recur.
