2008 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · BF08 OUN

The 2025‑04‑16 MOT at 106,703 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable trend. Earlier tests from 2022 through 2024, including the 2023‑04‑19 failure which showed no defects after correction, also recorded no faults, indicating consistent upkeep. The mileage trajectory over the 18‑year life of the 2008 Transit reflects low annual usage, averaging just under 6,000 miles per year. The increase from 87,203 miles in April 2022 to 93,901 miles in April 2023 represents a rise of 6,698 miles, after which the next test at 93,925 miles added only 24 miles, suggesting the vehicle spent a short period idle before the subsequent test. Subsequent annual increments of roughly 5,800 to 6,900 miles through 2025 show a steady, non‑accelerating pattern with no abrupt mileage spikes. A buyer should therefore focus on components that typically exhibit wear despite a clean MOT history: suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or corrosion, rear brake calipers for binding, brake discs for scoring, and the exhaust system for rust or leaks. Structural integrity should be examined for rust on the chassis rails and wheel arches, while tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition, though consumable, may indicate neglect of basic upkeep. Overall, the vehicle’s consistent pass rate and modest mileage suggest a well‑cared‑for example, yet a thorough in‑person inspection of the aforementioned mechanical items remains essential to verify that no latent faults have developed since the last official test.
