2008 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AM08 AFV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection data. The latest MOT test conducted in September 2025 at 122,567 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all safety and emissions standards. While a failure occurred in April 2024, the issues were rectified quickly for a successful retest just one month later, suggesting the owner is proactive in addressing defects once they are identified. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical commercial use for an 18-year-old Transit, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in the records between October 2021 and April 2023, during which the vehicle covered only 3,366 miles. However, the usage has returned to a steady pace with 13,993 miles recorded between the April 2023 and September 2025 tests. This low annual mileage reduces the strain on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage fleet vehicles, though age-related degradation remains. A physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points, as vehicles of this era are prone to corrosion corrosion in hidden areas. Despite the recent clean records, the buyer must check the suspension bushes and coil springs for perished rubber, as these often fail on older Transits regardless of mileage. Testing the braking system for signs of binding calipers or uneven disc wear is also advisable to ensure the 2024 failure did not indicate a recurring mechanical issue that has merely been temporarily masked.
