2006 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · CV56 YYN

The 2006 Ford Transit presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 January 2026 at 183,521 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass on 10 July 2024 at 178,481 miles shows no advisories or escalating faults across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 183,521 against an approximate 20-year lifespan, equating to roughly 9,176 miles per year which is typical for a light commercial vehicle of this age. The gap between the 3 June 2021 test at 164,067 miles and the 28 April 2023 pass at 171,622 miles covers about 7,555 miles over nearly two years, indicating light use in that period. A two-day fail and retest in April 2023 at 171,602 and 171,622 miles shows a rejection with no defects logged, likely an administrative or minor presentation issue rather than mechanical fault. The DVSA record shows no corrosion, suspension bush wear, brake binding, or exhaust emission failures across any entry. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity beneath the chassis and wheel arches given the vehicle's age and salt-exposure risk on a Transit of this era. Check the condition of brake discs, coil springs, and tyre tread in person despite the absence of advisories, as a clean MOT does not measure remaining consumable life. The sparse but clean history implies the previous keeper kept statutory testing current without neglected intervals.
