2004 FORD TRANSIT2.4L Diesel

This 2004 Ford Transit demonstrates a currently roadworthy status backed by a clean pass on 15 August 2025 at 115,028 miles, following a procedural failure just nine days prior on 6 August 2025 where no specific defects were recorded by the testing station. The maintenance trend reflects a recent return to compliance, though the complete absence of historical advisory data across all listed tests points toward either sporadic usage patterns or a vehicle that spent extended periods off the road between annual inspections. The mileage accumulation presents a stark chronological anomaly that requires careful consideration. The vehicle recorded 73,534 miles during the August 2024 test, yet accumulated an unexpected surge of 41,494 miles within a twelve-month window leading up to the August 2025 test. This dramatic spike contrasts sharply with the vehicle's long-term lifetime average of roughly 5,229 miles per year, indicating that the Transit transitioned from very light or dormant duties to intensive commercial use immediately prior to its most recent MOT. Prospective buyers must inspect the chassis thoroughly for structural corrosion and rust, as commercial light-commercial vehicles of this age frequently suffer from frame degradation regardless of low baseline historical mileage. You should verify the condition of heavy-wear drivetrain components, suspension bushes, and braking systems to ensure the heavy workload absorbed during the 2024-2025 mileage spike has not compromised structural integrity or mechanical reliability.
