2003 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · CW03 FZK

The 2003 Ford Transit presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 October 2025 at 209,494 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run across the three available annual examinations. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,108 per year against the vehicle's 23-year life, a typical figure for a Transit of this age. The records show 204,594 miles at the 25 October 2023 test, 206,837 at 25 October 2024, and 209,494 at 24 October 2025, giving an average annual gain near 2,450 miles across the documented span. The DVSA history is sparse but clean, with no advisories or failures listed on any date, which suggests the previous keeper kept the van to a basic pass standard rather than addressing wear ahead of the test. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity and corrosion on the chassis and sills in person, as a 23-year-old Ford is prone to hidden rust even when the tester logs no defects. Check suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related fatigue, and confirm the exhaust emissions remain within limits given the high cumulative mileage. Given the absence of recorded faults, the main risk is undocumented wear on consumables and drivetrain components rather than a known recurring mechanical fault. A pre-purchase inspection beneath the vehicle remains sensible before commitment.
