FORD TRANSIT2008 · 2.4L DIESEL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on 28 May 2025 at 178,676 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, despite a technical failure recorded just four days prior to the successful test at 178,667 miles. Since no defects were listed on either the fail or the subsequent pass, the vehicle met the minimum safety and emissions requirements without documented mechanical or structural failures during that testing period. The mileage profile is consistent with an 18-year-old commercial vehicle averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in records between October 2022 and January 2024, where the vehicle covered 4,036 miles over roughly fifteen months. However, the usage increased significantly between January 2024 and May 2025, with 4,561 miles covered in just sixteen months. This suggests the vehicle remains in regular use, which is generally preferable for maintaining seals and components in an older Transit compared to long periods of stationary storage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as Transit models of this era are prone to corrosion in the sills and mounting points. While the recent MOT history shows no active advisories, the high mileage necessitates a thorough check of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake lines for signs of wear. Given the failure in May 2025 that yielded no recorded defects, an inspection of the braking efficiency and lighting assemblies is advisable to ensure no minor issues were rectified prior to the re-test.
