2008 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · ND58 AAJ

The vehicle is currently not in a verified roadworthy state as the most recent MOT test dates back to 25 November 2022. While that final test at 193,512 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, the vehicle has been without a valid certificate for over three years. The maintenance trend appears stable based on the limited data provided, but the long period of inactivity since late 2022 creates a significant gap in the mechanical record. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 10,751 miles per year. Between February 2019 and November 2022, the odometer moved from 188,821 miles to 193,512 miles. This represents a very low usage rate of only 4,691 miles over nearly four years. Such a stagnation in mileage suggests the vehicle may have been stored or used sparingly, which often leads to secondary issues like seized brake calipers or perished rubber components. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the chassis and underbody for corrosion, as structural rust is a common failure point for Ford Transits of this era. The lack of recorded defects in the MOT history is unusual for a high-mileage commercial vehicle and may indicate a lenient testing regime or a vehicle that spent most of its life in a low-stress environment. Given the three-year gap since the last test, the buyer should specifically check for flat-spotted tyres, battery degradation, and fluid leaks. The brakes and suspension bushes require a manual check to ensure they have not seized or cracked during the period of dormancy. A fresh MOT is essential to identify any new faults that have developed since November 2022.
