FORD TRANSIT 100 T350L RWD2008 · 2.4L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a complex roadworthiness profile, showing a stable maintenance trend following a period of inconsistency. The most recent test conducted on 15 June 2022 at 273,091 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating the vehicle met the minimum safety standards at that time. However, the vehicle has not undergone an MOT in nearly four years, meaning the current roadworthiness is unverified and the mechanical state of components has likely deteriorated significantly since the last official inspection. The mileage pattern reflects heavy usage for an 18-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging 15,000 miles per annum. The data shows a significant spike between November 2020 and July 2021, where the vehicle covered 1,522 miles in just eight months. The gap between the June 2022 test and the current date in June 2026 suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for an extended period. Such inactivity combined with high mileage often leads to a rapid decline in the condition of rubber components, fluid degradation, and surface corrosion on the braking system. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and undercarriage, as the high mileage and age increase the risk of deep structural corrosion on the chassis rails and mounting points. The previous failures in November 2020 and July 2021, while not detailed in the summary provided, suggest the vehicle has previously struggled with compliance issues. Attention should be paid to worn suspension bushes, perished coil springs, and leaking brake calipers. Given the four-year lapse in testing, a comprehensive mechanical check of the drivetrain and cooling system is essential to identify hidden failures that have emerged since the last recorded pass.
