2007 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · BX56 OKO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in November 2025 with 126,671 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a period of instability during a series of failures in late 2023 and 2024. While the most recent test is clean, the previous history reveals a pattern of structural and mechanical neglect that required immediate intervention, suggesting that the owner has only addressed faults when prompted by a test failure rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. At 19 years old, the recorded 126,671 miles represent an average annual usage of approximately 6,667 miles. This low mileage is typical for a commercial vehicle of this age. The mileage data shows consistent use, with roughly 13,000 miles covered between September 2023 and November 2024, and another 14,000 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is still used regularly rather than sitting stationary for long periods. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically the sill sections and inner vehicle structures. The record shows significant corrosion that reduced the rigidity of the sill assembly in November 2024, which was subsequently undersealed. While the vehicle passed since, rust on a Transit of this era is an ongoing issue that tends to progress despite surface treatments. The corrosion on the seat belt anchorage noted in 2023 also indicates that oxidation is affecting safety-critical mounting points across the chassis. Mechanical attention should also be paid to the braking and suspension systems. The 2023 failure highlighted corroded brake pipes, thin pads, and poor parking brake efficiency, while the 2024 test identified an excessively worn anti-roll bar linkage. The persistent oil leak noted on the underside in late 2024 requires a visual inspection to determine if the source is a minor seal or a failing engine component. Given the history of brake contamination and lighting failures, the overall state of the consumables and hydraulic lines should be verified before purchase.
