2005 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · AX55 AXB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 13 March 2026 with 138,189 miles. While the record shows a failure just three days prior on the same mileage, the lack of recorded defects on either test date suggests a potential administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately without significant mechanical degradation. Since the 2022 test, the vehicle has maintained a clean record without advisories or failures, indicating a period of consistent mechanical reliability. At approximately 21 years old, the recorded mileage of 138,189 miles represents an annual average of roughly 6,600 miles. This is consistent with light commercial use or long-term commuting. The data shows a steady progression between the November 2023 test at 133,036 miles and the March 2025 test at 139,128 miles, covering approximately 6,000 miles over sixteen months. This low annual mileage suggests the drivetrain has not been subjected to the heavy wear-and-tear typically seen in high-mileage transit vans. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components, as older Ford Transits are prone to corrosion in the rear strength members. Despite the clean MOT history, aged rubber components such as suspension bushes and engine mounts often perish over time rather than mileage. Inspect the brake calipers for binding or signs of pitting on the discs, as low-frequency use can sometimes lead to surface oxidation if the vehicle sits for extended periods.
