2007 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · AX07 DYA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass in its most recent test in June 2024 at 111,623 miles. While the history shows two failures, the lack of recorded defects in the last three successful tests suggests that the previous owner addressed identified issues immediately to maintain road legality. The absence of recurring advisories in the latest record indicates that the vehicle currently meets the minimum legal safety and emissions standards without outstanding mechanical defects. The mileage profile is notably low for a 19-year-old Ford Transit, averaging approximately 5,875 miles per year. Data shows a significant period of low usage between July 2022 and June 2024, where the vehicle covered only 9,731 miles over nearly two years. The rapid succession of the April 2024 failure and the June 2024 pass, with only 35 miles of travel, suggests the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, which can leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid despite low mechanical mileage. A physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points, as high-age Transit vans are prone to corrosion that does not always trigger an MOT failure until it becomes structural. Given the low annual mileage, the buyer should check for perished suspension bushes, cracked tyres, and seized brake calipers resulting from inactivity. The tester should also verify the engine for fluid leaks from aged seals, as low-use vehicles often suffer from seal shrinkage over decades of operation.
