2008 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · HY58 AED

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 June 2025 at 68,471 miles with no defects recorded. This clean pass follows a consistent pattern of success in the preceding years, suggesting the vehicle is being kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards. The mileage is exceptionally low for an 18 year old Ford Transit, averaging roughly 3,804 miles per year. Between 11 April 2023 and 10 June 2025, the odometer increased by only 5,662 miles. This low usage suggests a light duty cycle, though the record shows a strange cluster of activity in April 2024. The vehicle failed two tests on 18 April and 26 April 2024 before passing on 16 May 2024, yet the record lists no specific defects for any of those three entries. A buyer should investigate the cause of the April 2024 failures, as the lack of recorded defects during those tests is irregular. Because the van has spent much of its life doing low mileage, the primary concern is the effect of long periods of standing. You should specifically check for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, and inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting. Given the age of the chassis, a thorough inspection for structural corrosion is essential, particularly around the sills and wheel arches. While the MOT history is clean of advisories, the low annual mileage often masks issues like seizing brake calipers or degraded engine seals that only manifest once a vehicle returns to regular, heavy use.
