2006 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · AJ06 FVR

The 2006 Ford Transit presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 February 2026 at 123,026 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 17 February 2025 at 122,651 miles. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available history, indicating consistent compliance with statutory test standards for a 20-year-old light commercial vehicle. Recorded mileage sits at 123,026 miles against a 2006 build, averaging roughly 6,151 miles per year which is typical for the age. The DVSA entries show 119,394 miles on 29 November 2022, rising to 121,568 miles on 22 January 2024, then 122,651 miles by February 2025 and 123,026 miles by February 2026. A gap exists between the November 2022 and January 2024 tests exceeding the standard 12-month cycle, though the later 2025 and 2026 tests resumed annual cadence. The sparse, clean record offers little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. The February 2025 history contains a failed test on 4 February at 122,651 miles with no defects listed, reversed by a pass on 17 February at identical mileage. This suggests an administrative or presentation issue at the first attempt rather than a mechanical defect, though a buyer should confirm the failure reason via the full DVLA dataset. Given the clean run since, no specific suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion items require targeted scrutiny from the record alone. A pre-purchase inspection should still verify structural integrity beneath the chassis and wheel arches for rust, as 20-year-old Transits commonly suffer sills and spring hanger corrosion unseen in a pass-with-no-defects test. Check tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and exhaust emissions in person. The low annual mileage implies light use, but long standing periods can age rubber components and seize calipers, so a road test remains prudent.
