2001 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · AE51 HOJ

The Ford Transit presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 18 July 2024 at 124,012 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend shown in the supplied records is stable with no ongoing mechanical faults carried between tests. The only blemish is a failed test on 10 July 2024 at 123,879 miles, yet the DVSA entry lists no defects, indicating the failure arose from an administrative or unrecorded non-mechanical cause rather than a worn component. At roughly 25 years old the van shows 124,012 recorded miles, an average of about 4,960 miles per year. This is low for a Transit of this age and points to light commercial use or extended periods off the road. The gap between the two July 2024 tests covers only 133 miles, so no rapid accumulation or neglect through high use is evident. With just two entries supplied, the history is sparse but clean apart from the unexplained failure. A buyer should still verify structural integrity and corrosion on the chassis and sills, as a 2001 panel van with low mileage may have stood unused and developed hidden rust. The brake discs, calipers, and suspension bushes deserve a physical check despite no advisories, since a short MOT gap limits the inspector's view of wear trends. Confirm the reason for the 10 July 2024 failure with the test station before purchase, as the blank defects field offers no technical clue.
