2008 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · CK58 LNT

The 2008 Ford Transit presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 23 October 2025 at 51,814 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across the recent record. The most recent test showed no defects, and the prior passes in October 2024 at 49,662 miles and October 2023 at 46,892 miles also recorded no advisories or faults. Two earlier failures logged on 23 October 2025 at 51,811 miles and 24 October 2023 at 46,892 miles carry no recorded defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical rejection. Recorded mileage sits at 51,814 against an eighteen-year lifespan, equating to roughly 2,879 miles per year. The van covered just 2,922 miles between the October 2023 and October 2024 tests, then 3,152 miles to the October 2025 pass. Such low annual use suggests extended standing periods, which commonly accelerates perishable component degradation such as tyre sidewall cracking, brake caliper seizing, and underbody corrosion even where the drivetrain shows light wear. A buyer should physically inspect the brake calipers and discs for binding or surface rust after the long idle spells implied by the mileage. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe should be checked for corrosion and fatigue, as the MOT record offers no advisories to confirm these were examined closely. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity require a visual check for rot given the vehicle's age and low-use profile. The absence of recorded defects across five years of testing points to a lightly used, seemingly well-presented example, though the twin no-defect failures warrant confirmation that the V5C and test certificates match the DVSA entries before purchase.
