2007 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · YG07 ADZ

The 2007 Ford Transit carries a current MOT failure dated 17 March 2025, with no subsequent test recorded before today's date of 30 August 2026. This means the vehicle has been off the road, untested, for roughly seventeen months. A current MOT pass is a legal prerequisite for road use, so the van is not presently roadworthy in the documented sense. The pattern across the three recorded tests is not stable; two of the three tests resulted in failure, and the most recent included two dangerous defects alongside major items, which is a worsening trajectory rather than an improving one. Mileage accumulation across the recorded tests is difficult to verify precisely because the data set is sparse, with only three entries between 2021 and 2025. From the 2022-07-02 pass through to the 2025-03-17 failure, annual mileage appears broadly consistent with the average of 7,815 miles per year cited for the vehicle's age, though the absence of mileage readings on the failures limits a definitive comparison. The lack of an annual test between mid-2022 and early 2025 leaves a gap that warrants caution, particularly given the severity of the defects identified when testing did resume. The recurring theme across both failures is front suspension wear. The 2021 test flagged an excessively worn offside front suspension arm pin or bush and a severely corroded inner sill within the prescribed mounting area, a structural concern that significantly reduces strength. The 2025 test repeated the same offside front suspension arm pin or bush defect, suggesting the component was either not replaced at the earlier repair or has worn again under normal use. Tyre tread below the legal 1.6mm limit appeared at both the nearside front in 2021 and both rear tyres in 2025, with cord exposure also noted in 2021, indicating tread depth has been neglected on more than one occasion. Any prospective buyer should carry out a physical inspection focusing on the offside front suspension arm, bush, and inner sill area for corrosion, verify recent tyre replacement, and check the supplementary restraint system warning lamp function, as the 2021 airbag fault may have persisted unresolved.
