2006 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · AE06 AFF

The vehicle's most recent MOT test, conducted in May 2023 at 126,367 miles, passed with advisories for worn tyres and minor corrosion on the body structure. The maintenance trend is stable, with recurring advisories for tyre wear and minor corrosion, but no worsening mechanical issues. The 2022 test at 126,255 miles failed due to brake imbalances, wiper and lamp failures, and insecure exhaust, but the 2023 test resolved these issues. The 2018 and 2017 tests also failed due to brake and suspension problems, but these were addressed in subsequent tests. The 2015 and 2013 tests had advisories for wipers and suspension bushes, which were also resolved. The 2012 test failed due to brake binding and tyre wear, but the 2013 test passed without defects. The 2011 and 2010 tests passed without advisories. The mileage pattern is typical for a vehicle of this age, with an average of 6,318 miles per year. The most recent test in May 2023 shows a slight increase in mileage since the previous test in April 2022, but no rapid accumulation. The 2018 and 2017 tests were conducted within a year of each other, and the 2015 and 2013 tests were also conducted within a year. The 2012 and 2011 tests were conducted within a year, and the 2010 test was conducted two years prior. The data is clean, with no significant gaps or rapid mileage accumulation. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of recurring advisories, such as tyre wear, minor corrosion, and brake imbalances. The suspension bushes and wipers should also be checked for wear. The exhaust system should be inspected for security, and the brakes should be checked for efficiency and binding. The vehicle's structural integrity should be assessed for any signs of corrosion or weakening. The buyer should also check the wiper blades for effectiveness and the lamps for proper functioning. The vehicle's maintenance history suggests that previous owners may have neglected basic upkeep, but the recurring advisories have been resolved in subsequent tests.
