2006 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · CW55 CFZ

The 2006 Ford Transit presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass recorded at the most recent test on 27 February 2024 at 165,992 miles, showing no defects. Prior to that, the vehicle passed on 25 October 2021 at 160,704 miles with no defects logged. The only blemish is a failed test on 23 October 2021 at the same mileage, where the DVLA record shows no defects cited, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Overall, the history indicates consistent compliance with minimum test standards across the available entries. The recorded mileage of 165,992 at the 2024 test equates to roughly 8,300 miles per year since registration, which is typical for a two-decade-old light commercial. Between the October 2021 test at 160,704 miles and the February 2024 test, the vehicle covered only 5,288 miles across 28 months, indicating reduced annual use in that period. A gap exists before October 2021 with no earlier records supplied, so pre-2021 care cannot be assessed from this data. The sparse clean entries imply basic statutory upkeep was maintained, though the lack of advisories across tests limits insight into wear progression. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity and corrosion on chassis rails, sills, and suspension mounting points given the vehicle's age and exposed commercial use. The front suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical checks for fatigue or pitting despite no tester flags. The unexplained fail on 23 October 2021 should be clarified with the previous owner or garage, as a no-defect failure often points to documentation error or unrecorded measurement. Given the clean recent pass and ordinary mileage, the Transit shows no evidence of worsening mechanical decline in the supplied record. Verify the true condition of tyres, exhaust emissions, and drivetrain during a hands-on inspection before purchase.
