2003 FORD TRANSIT 350 LWB TD2.4L DIESEL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on 11 July 2025. While the most recent test indicates no defects, the maintenance trend showed significant instability during early 2025. The consecutive failures in March and June of that year suggest a period of mechanical or regulatory neglect that eventually required immediate intervention to achieve a pass. However, the rapid transition from two failures to a clean pass within one month indicates that the identified issues were rectified effectively. Mileage data reveals a consistent pattern of use over the last three years. The vehicle covered 5,775 miles between October 2022 and March 2024, followed by another 5,775 miles between March 2024 and March 2025. This represents a relatively low annual mileage for a commercial Transit of this age, averaging roughly 5,000 miles per year. The gap between March and June 2025 tests shows minimal movement, with the odometer only advancing from 114,604 to 114,665 miles. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension components, given the vehicle's age and the previous testing volatility. Although the record does not list specific failures for structural corrosion, Ford Transits of this era are prone to rust on the frame members and leaf spring mounts. Inspect the brake lines for signs of corrosion and check the condition of the bushes, as the repeated failures in 2025 likely related to wear items or safety components that were only recently addressed. Focus on any signs of fluid leaks in the exhaust system or degradation of the control arm joints to ensure the recent stability is maintained.
