2004 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · AG53 CWM

The 2004 Ford Transit presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT on 15 May 2025 at 101,594 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and shows no worsening mechanical faults across the available history. Two earlier failures in 2023 and 2024 carry no listed defects, indicating administrative or presentational issues at the test centre rather than outstanding roadworthiness concerns. Recorded mileage sits at 101,594 against a 22-year lifespan, an average of roughly 4,618 miles per year and low for a working Transit. The van added only 555 miles between the April 2022 pass at 94,839 miles and the April 2023 failure at 95,373 miles, then crept to 95,386 by April 2024 and reached 101,594 by May 2025. Such low, irregular accumulation suggests extended periods off the road or very light duties, with the final year showing the only notable movement of 6,208 miles. The clean defect record gives no tester-flagged advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or corrosion. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity beneath the chassis and wheel arches for rust, given the vehicle's age and likely standing periods. Verify the brake calipers are free and the tyres are not perished from age rather than wear. Confirm the reason for the 2023 and 2024 failures with DVSA, as the absent defect data leaves the cause unverified. Otherwise, the history implies a lightly used van with basic upkeep maintained, though in-person checks on consumables and hidden corrosion remain prudent before purchase.
