FORD TRANSIT2008 · 2.2L Diesel

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent passing trend over the last four years. The most recent test on 29 September 2025 at 196,380 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a pattern of clean passes dating back to August 2022, suggesting the vehicle is currently maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a commercial vehicle of this age. Between the August 2022 test at 190,333 miles and the September 2025 test at 196,380 miles, the van covered 6,047 miles over approximately three years. This low annual usage in recent years contrasts with the overall average of 10,910 miles per year, indicating the vehicle has seen significantly lighter use recently. The MOT history is unusually clean for a 2008 Transit, showing no recorded advisories for brake wear, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions across multiple tests. While the failure on 25 July 2022 was resolved within nine days, the record lacks detail on the specific fault. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and chassis rails, as these common Transit failure points are not always highlighted in a pass certificate until they become critical. Given the low recent mileage and the lack of recorded defects, the primary concern is whether the vehicle has suffered from standing periods. Check for perished rubber components, tyre flat-spots, and battery health. A manual check of the brake discs for surface corrosion or binding calipers is advised to ensure the braking system remains active despite the reduced usage since 2022.
