2001 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · CU51 EOE

The Ford Transit presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 19 October 2024 at 118,991 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared the final test with no defects recorded, and no advisories or mechanical faults appear in any entry from 2022 to 2024. Recorded mileage sits at 118,991 against a 25-year lifespan, equating to roughly 4,760 miles per year and indicating light overall use for a commercial van. The data shows an anomaly: the 2022 test at 111,948 miles was followed by a drop to 104,879 at the 2023 failure, then a rise back to 118,169 by the 2024 failure. Such reversal suggests either a clerical error at one test or a replacement odometer unit, and the buyer should verify the true distance with service records. Both failures on 1 October 2024 and 4 October 2023 list no defects, meaning the tester issued a rejection on administrative grounds rather than mechanical condition, with passes secured days later. This pattern implies the previous keeper addressed paperwork or presentation issues promptly rather than neglecting running gear. Given the clean MOT outcomes, a physical inspection should still target age-related corrosion on chassis rails and suspension mounts, check brake discs and calipers for binding after standing periods, and confirm the mileage discrepancy through V5C and garage invoices before purchase.
