2008 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · BF58 AAZ

The 2008 Ford Transit passed its most recent MOT on 12 May 2025, around fourteen months before today, at 149,855 miles with no defects recorded, so it presented as roadworthy at that check. The maintenance trend stays stable across the supplied entries, with zero advisories or mechanical faults logged at any examination. The tester logged no defects on the failed tests of 26 June 2023 at 177,574 miles and 16 February 2022 at 222,959 miles, pointing to administrative anomalies rather than wear. The gap between the 2023 and 2025 tests exceeds the annual cycle, hinting at a period off the road or late compliance. Mileage readings contradict typical accumulation for an eighteen year old van. The February 2022 test captured 222,960 miles, equating to roughly 15,900 miles per year up to that point. Subsequent records reverse sharply: June 2023 shows 177,574 miles and May 2025 shows 149,855 miles. This net reduction of 73,105 miles signals probable odometer tampering, a replacement cluster, or data error. The sparse five entry history with no noted consumable wear leaves little evidence of tyre, wiper, or brake servicing intervals. A buyer must inspect structural corrosion on chassis rails and body mounts given the age and unclear use. The tester never flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs, yet aged Transits routinely develop hidden rust and worn trailing arm bushes. Verify the two zero defect failures through V5C and test station documentation, as previous owners may have stumbled on paperwork rather than neglected mechanics. During a road test confirm exhaust emissions and check for binding calipers, since a clean record offers no guarantee after a likely mileage discrepancy.
