2007 FORD TRANSIT HOBBY T500GFSC2.2L Diesel

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 13 October 2025 with 28,364 miles and no recorded defects. This follows an anomalous failure on 24 September 2025 at 28,283 miles which notably showed no recorded defects on the report, suggesting an administrative error or a minor testable issue that was rectified immediately before the subsequent pass. Since 2022, the vehicle has maintained a clean record across all consecutive annual testing cycles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old commercial, averaging approximately 1,500 miles per year. Between June 2022 and October 2025, the vehicle covered only 2,864 miles, indicating a pattern of infrequent use or long periods of stationary. While low mileage suggests less wear on the engine and drivetrain components, it introduces risks associated with component degradation due to age rather than use. The data shows the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy labor, which is consistent with the clean MOT results over the last four years. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity and rubber components to account for the low-use history. Long periods of standing often lead to corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system, which may not manifest as MOT failures until they become significant. The inspector should check for seized brake calipers, perished suspension bushes, and dry tyres that may suffer from lack of regular movement. Given the age of the vehicle, verifying the condition of fluids and seals is equally vital to ensure no leaks have occurred despite the low recorded mileage.
