2008 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · BP08 KTA

The most recent test on 14 July 2023 at 152,273 miles shows a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also logged a fail with no defects listed, an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. The maintenance trend appears stable, with clean passes in 2019, 2022, and 2023 and no advisories or recorded wear across the suspension, brakes, or structure. Mileage sat at 138,368 on 4 September 2019 and rose only marginally to 138,854 by 14 July 2022, a gain of 486 miles over nearly three years that implies long periods of standing or very light use. From July 2022 to July 2023 the van covered 13,419 miles, restoring a near-typical annual rate of around 8,460 miles per year for its age. The record is sparse but clean, with no consumable or structural issues flagged at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of corrosion on chassis rails and body mounts, as an 18-year-old Transit at this age is prone to structural rust not captured by a fault-free MOT. The binding calipers, coil springs, and exhaust emissions were never cited, yet brake discs and suspension bushes warrant hands-on checks given the low-mileage dormancy between 2019 and 2022. Verify the 14 July 2023 fail with no defects was a DVSA data error and confirm the vehicle has not been off-road since, given the single annual test pattern. Pre-purchase scrutiny of tyre tread depth and wiper condition remains sensible despite the absence of advisories in the official history.
