2007 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · KR57 AAO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2022-04-25 at 110,665 miles, resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, the absence of subsequent tests since 2022-04-25—over four years prior to the current date—raises concerns about its current roadworthiness. The MOT history reveals a pattern of failed tests in 2022 and 2021, though no defects were logged, suggesting potential minor issues resolved before retesting. This inconsistency in test outcomes, combined with the lack of recent data, indicates an unstable maintenance trend that warrants further inspection. The recorded mileage of 110,665 miles for a 19-year-old vehicle equates to an average of 5,824 miles annually, which is low for its age. Notably, the vehicle accumulated 15,400 miles between 2020-03-14 (95,265 miles) and 2022-04-25 (110,665 miles), reflecting a period of increased usage. This spike contrasts with the overall low annual average, potentially indicating intermittent heavy use or prolonged inactivity. The MOT records show no defects in the 2020-2022 tests, but the sparse data limits insight into long-term wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the vehicle’s structural integrity for corrosion, particularly in the chassis and underbody, as low mileage can mask hidden rust from prolonged standing. Suspension components, including coil springs and shock absorbers, should be checked for wear, given the vehicle’s age. Brake systems, including caliper binding and disc thickness, require scrutiny, as failed MOTs in 2021 and 2022—despite no recorded defects—may hint at unresolved issues. Additionally, the absence of recent MOT data means the vehicle’s current compliance with safety standards remains unverified.
