2004 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · LN04 ABZ

The single available MOT record shows this 2004 Ford Transit passed in October 2021 at 82,363 miles with no defects recorded. That is a clean result, but it is also the only data point on file. Because the most recent test is nearly five years old as of August 2026, the current roadworthiness cannot be confirmed from this history alone. The maintenance trend is therefore indeterminate rather than stable or worsening, and the absence of recorded faults carries limited weight at this age. The mileage pattern is light for a 22-year-old van, at roughly 3,744 miles per year. That low annual figure can indicate sporadic use or long periods of standing, which often bring their own problems such as seized calipers, perished bushes, and corrosion forming on brake discs and unprotected chassis surfaces. There is no rapid accumulation in the record, but equally there is no evidence of recent mileage accumulation to show the van has been in regular service since the October 2021 test. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly spring seats, bushes, and anti-roll bar links, along with the brake discs, pads, and callipers for binding. Structural rust is the primary concern on a 2004 Transit, so check the cab floor, chassis rails, and load floor thoroughly. Tyres may also be aged even if tread depth remains legal, and the lack of recent MOT data means the van needs a fresh test before any purchase is considered sensible.
