2008 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CV08 CZC

The 2008 Ford Transit currently holds a failed MOT status following its most recent test on 2025-10-28 at 124,976 miles, despite the record listing no specific defects. The maintenance trend remains stable but reveals a recurring pattern of failing the initial annual test and passing on retest, as seen in both 2023 and 2024. This suggests the vehicle consistently sits right on the edge of compliance, requiring remedial work to meet the standard. The recorded mileage equates to roughly 6,943 miles per year, a typical accumulation for an eighteen-year-old commercial vehicle. The annual intervals show steady usage, covering 4,524 miles between October 2023 and October 2024, and 3,477 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. Notably, the mileage has remained completely static at 124,976 miles since the October 2025 failure, indicating the vehicle has likely stood idle since failing the test nine months ago. The official record presents a contradiction by listing failed outcomes without recording any defects, making it impossible to identify specific recurring mechanical issues like binding calipers or worn suspension bushes from the data alone. A buyer must treat this anomaly with caution and inspect the vehicle thoroughly from underneath. Focus on structural integrity, specifically checking the chassis and outrags for corrosion, alongside assessing the condition of brake discs, coil springs, and exhaust emissions. Given the nine-month gap since the failure, verifying exactly what remedial work was completed, or if the vehicle has simply been standing, remains a critical step before purchase.
