2008 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · BD08 HKB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 4 February 2025 at 200,258 miles. While the record shows an initial failure on that same date, the immediate pass with no recorded defects suggests a minor presentation issue that was rectified instantly. Since the 2022 test, the Transit has maintained a clean record of passes, indicating a consistent level of maintenance over the last three years. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,125 miles per year. Between February 2022 and February 2025, the vehicle covered 33,413 miles, representing a steady usage pattern of roughly 16,000 miles annually. The interval between the January 2024 and February 2025 tests saw a further 13,824 miles. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of standing, which often helps prevent internal engine corrosion and brake caliper seizing. Given the high mileage and the age of the vehicle, a physical inspection must focus heavily on the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points. Ford Transit models of this era are prone to significant corrosion in the sills, floor, and rear doors. The buyer should also examine the suspension components for excessive wear on the bushes and coil springs, which typically degrade rapidly toward the 200,000-mile mark. Checking the braking system for binding calipers or uneven disc wear is also advisable, as the MOT record does not detail the mechanical condition of these components between tests.
