Our Verdict

Proceed with caution due to the exceptionally high mileage. While the recent MOT history is clean, a 20-year-old commercial vehicle with over 228,000 miles requires a rigorous mechanical inspection.

Given the mileage of 228,927, the primary focus should be on the service history. Ensure the timing belt and water pump have been replaced recently, as these are critical failure points for this engine at this age. Request evidence of oil changes and filter replacements to ensure the turbocharger has been well-maintained.

Negotiate based on the vehicle's age and the inevitable wear and tear associated with nearly 230,000 miles. Check for any signs of structural rust, particularly on the chassis and sills, which is common for 2006-era Transits in the UK climate.
