2008 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CE08 AWY

The most recent MOT on 2025-10-23 recorded a pass, but several critical issues were noted. These included offside front steering rack play, rear brake binding, brake hose corrosion, and tyres near legal limits. The vehicle also had a heavily undersealed body, indicating potential exposure to moisture and corrosion. These findings suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with steering and braking systems. Recurring mechanical patterns show persistent corrosion in brake pipes, suspension mountings, and underbody components. The 2025-10-22 and 2025-08-22 failures highlighted excessive brake pipe corrosion, suspension mounting issues, and tyre wear. While the 2025-10-23 MOT addressed some of these, the continued presence of steering play, brake binding, and corrosion indicates unresolved underlying problems. The trend shows no clear improvement. Corrosion and brake-related defects reappeared in the latest test, despite earlier failures. Structural issues like suspension mounting corrosion and body deformation from 2020 persist, suggesting long-term exposure to harsh conditions or inadequate maintenance.
