2008 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · SK57 AED

The most recent MOT on 16 May 2025 recorded a pass at 194,851 miles, indicating the vehicle met the statutory roadworthiness criteria at that date. The earlier failures in May 2025 and December 2023 did not list any specific defects, and subsequent passes show no deterioration, suggesting a stable maintenance pattern rather than a worsening one. Mileage has risen from 190,999 miles on 4 January 2023 to 194,851 miles by May 2025, an increase of just under 4,000 miles in 28 months – roughly 1,400 miles per year. Over its 18‑year lifespan the average of about 10,800 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a commercial van, and the record shows no unexplained gaps or sudden surges that would imply abnormal stress. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the braking system, checking the condition of brake discs, pads and calipers for any signs of uneven wear or binding that might not have been captured in the MOT notes. Inspection of suspension components such as bushings and coil springs is advisable, as high‑mileage vans can develop fatigue in these areas. Verifying tyre tread depth, wheel alignment, and the presence of any corrosion on the chassis or exhaust system will help confirm that the vehicle’s structural integrity remains sound despite the undocumented failures.
