2006 FORD TRANSIT2.2L Diesel

The most recent MOT on 11 November 2022 at 155,182 miles recorded a Pass with no defects, indicating the vehicle remains roadworthy and the maintenance trend appears stable rather than deteriorating. Mileage has risen from 149,311 miles on 5 November 2021 to 155,182 miles a year later, an increase of 5,871 miles which aligns with the average annual run‑off of roughly 7,800 miles for a 20‑year‑old Transit. The consistent recording of mileage and the absence of any gaps suggest regular use without prolonged periods of inactivity, and no evidence of rapid accumulation that would raise immediate concern. A prospective buyer should focus the in‑person inspection on wear items that are not captured by MOT results. Examine tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, verify brake pad and disc wear, and check the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs for any signs of fatigue or leakage. Given the vehicle’s age, a visual assessment for corrosion on the chassis, under‑body panels, and exhaust system is prudent, as well as a functional test of steering feel and any audible binding in the brakes. Confirm that routine service intervals, particularly timing belt or chain replacement if applicable, have been observed to ensure long‑term mechanical reliability.
