2006 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · AF56 SVO

The Ford Transit presents a current roadworthy status with a clean pass recorded at 303,096 miles on 12 February 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable across the recent record, with no defects listed in any test. The vehicle carries a clean sheet at its last examination, though the earlier failure demands scrutiny. Mileage sits at 303,096 against a 2006 build, averaging roughly 15,155 miles per year, which is high for the age. The records show 271,287 miles at the October 2022 pass, rising to 289,584 by November 2023 and 303,094 by October 2024. The accumulation is steady with no abrupt jumps. A notable point is the dual tests on 13 October 2022: a fail at 271,281 miles followed by a pass at 271,287 the same day, indicating a rectified fault before re-test. The February 2025 pass added only two miles since the October 2024 fail, suggesting the van stood largely idle for months. The October 2024 failure at 303,094 miles carried no recorded defects, an irregular entry that implies an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. The October 2022 fail likewise listed nothing, then passed hours later. A buyer should physically verify the suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers for wear consistent with 303,000 miles of light commercial use. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions require hands-on inspection for corrosion and leaks not captured in these sparse records. Given the clean advisories throughout, previous keepers likely addressed consumables as needed yet left no paper trail of intermediate servicing. The high mileage and standing period before the 2025 test warrant a cold-start check of the drivetrain and a thorough underbody review for structural rust before purchase.
