2007 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · BJ57 ABV

This Ford Transit is in an exceptional state of roadworthiness for its age. The maintenance trend is remarkably stable, as evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 3 March 2026 at 172,413 miles. This vehicle has passed five consecutive annual tests without a single defect or advisory recorded, which is highly unusual for a commercial vehicle of this vintage. The mileage pattern is consistent and typical for a 19-year-old work vehicle. Between the March 2022 test at 167,834 miles and the March 2026 test at 172,413 miles, the vehicle covered 4,579 miles over four years. This low annual usage in recent years suggests the van has been lightly used or perhaps kept as a secondary vehicle, reducing the immediate wear on the drivetrain and suspension. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer must still perform a physical inspection of the chassis and underbody. Ford Transits of this era are prone to significant corrosion on the sills and rear wheel arches, which does not always result in an immediate MOT failure unless the structural integrity is compromised. You should check for surface rust and ensure the brake discs have not pitted due to the low mileage recorded between 2022 and 2026. Verify the condition of the rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls. Vehicles that sit for long periods can suffer from perishing rubber and flat-spotting, regardless of the mileage. Given the absence of advisories, the previous owner appears to have maintained the vehicle to a high standard, but a manual check for oil leaks and fluid levels is necessary to confirm the mechanical health beyond the basic DVSA requirements.
