2005 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · AP05 MJY

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, demonstrating a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent inspection on 18 July 2025 at 146,678 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean sheet suggests that the previous owners have been proactive in addressing mechanical issues before they escalated into test failures, which is uncommon for a vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 21-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between the August 2021 test at 125,795 miles and the July 2025 test at 146,678 miles, the vehicle covered 20,883 miles, representing a steady usage of roughly 5,200 miles per year. This low mileage indicates the van has not been subjected to heavy-duty commercial cycles, which helps preserve the drivetrain components and engine wear. Despite the lack of recorded advisories, a buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity of the chassis and inner members. Ford Transits of this era are prone to significant corrosion in the sills, wheel arches, and floor pans which may not always be captured in a standard MOT unless the rust is structurally compromised. You should also inspect the suspension bushes and wish arm joints for cracking, as rubber-related components degrade over time regardless of the low mileage recorded.
