FORD TRANSIT1995 · 2.5L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by consecutive MOT passes. The most recent test on 15 April 2025 at 126,712 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and structural components met the minimum legal standards. This follows a clean result from November 2023, suggesting that the vehicle has maintained a consistent level of upkeep without recurring mechanical failures or escalating issues. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 31-year-old Transit, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap in the records between June 2017 and November 2023, during which the vehicle covered roughly 69,000 miles. This indicates a period of heavy use followed by a recent period of much lower mileage, with only 2,698 miles recorded in the last two years. The 2,700 miles between the 2023 and 2025 tests confirms the usage frequency has shifted back to more infrequent operation. Given the age of the vehicle and the low annual mileage, a physical inspection must focus on structural integrity and age-related degradation. Long periods of standing often lead to perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, and degraded suspension bushes. A buyer should specifically examine the chassis and floor members for corrosion, as these are common failure points on older Ford Transits regardless of mileage. Checking the condition of the brake lines for cracking is also essential, as low mileage does not prevent the natural breakdown of materials over three decades.
