1989 FORD TRANSIT2.5L Diesel

The Ford Transit passed its most recent MOT on 20 September 2025 at 91,653 miles with no defects recorded, placing the vehicle in a currently roadworthy and stable condition. The single clean test result shows no worsening or recurring fault trend across the supplied history. Recorded mileage stands at 91,653 miles against a 1989 build date, equating to roughly 2,477 miles per year. This low annual accumulation suggests either light commercial use or extended periods of storage over the vehicle's 37-year life. The MOT data supplied contains only the one entry, so no gaps or rapid accumulation can be measured between tests; the absence of earlier records limits longitudinal wear analysis. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection focused on age-related degradation not captured by a pass with no advisories. Corrosion to chassis rails, sills, and suspension mounting points is common on Transits of this era and may develop without triggering an MOT defect if structural integrity remains within limits. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers warrant hands-on checks for perishing or binding after long standing periods. Engine ancillaries, exhaust condition, and tyre sidewall cracking should also be examined given the low use pattern. The clean 2025 test confirms legal roadworthiness on the day, but sparse history means previous owner upkeep cannot be verified beyond that single assessment.
