FORD TRANSIT2008 · 2.2L Diesel

The vehicle currently lacks a valid MOT certificate, as the last recorded test occurred on 13 November 2023. While that test resulted in a pass at 92,591 miles, the vehicle has been off the official testing cycle for nearly two years relative to the current date of 12 July 2026. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the record shows a consistent history of passing tests without any recorded defects or advisories. The mileage pattern is unusually low for an 18 year old commercial vehicle, averaging roughly 5,144 miles per year. A significant jump in usage occurred between August 2022 and November 2023, where the odometer rose from 69,052 to 92,591 miles. This indicates the vehicle covered over 23,000 miles in approximately 15 months, a sharp increase compared to the 10,000 miles covered between August 2021 and August 2022. The absence of recorded defects across multiple years is atypical for a Ford Transit of this vintage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection for structural corrosion, particularly on the chassis rails and sills, as these are common failure points that may not have been flagged if the vehicle spent long periods stationary. Given the recent period of inactivity since late 2023, the buyer should check for perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, and battery health. The sudden increase in mileage prior to the last test suggests the drivetrain was worked harder recently, making a check of the oil condition and suspension bushes necessary to ensure the vehicle remains roadworthy.
