2008 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · ND58 ADU

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT, having passed its most recent test on 14 October 2025 at 199,521 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the record shows a consistent pattern of passing tests without any recorded defects or advisories. The absence of flagged mechanical issues across multiple years suggests a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy state. The mileage is typical for a 2008 model, averaging roughly 11,084 miles per year. The distance covered between the September 2023 test at 190,189 miles and the October 2025 test at 199,521 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 4,600 miles per year over the last two years. This indicates the vehicle has remained in active use rather than sitting idle, which generally helps prevent seals from perishing and brakes from seizing. While the MOT history is remarkably clean, the lack of recorded advisories on an 18 year old Transit is unusual. A buyer should physically inspect the chassis and sills for corrosion, as structural rust often develops in these models without always triggering an immediate failure if it is superficial. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, as these components naturally degrade at nearly 200,000 miles regardless of the MOT outcome. Verify the condition of the brake discs and pads during a test drive. The record shows two instances where the vehicle failed and passed on the same day, specifically on 22 September 2023 and 7 October 2025. This suggests the owner addresses faults immediately upon discovery, but the specific nature of those failures was not detailed in the provided data. A manual check of the engine oil and coolant for contamination is advised to ensure the drivetrain is healthy given the high total mileage.
