2003 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · D14 NNG

The Ford Transit presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 7 April 2026 at 106,676 miles where the tester recorded no defects. The vehicle has passed every examination on record, showing no worsening faults, recurring advisories, or structural concerns across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 106,676 against a 2003 build, an average of roughly 4,638 miles per year, which is low for a 23-year-old commercial vehicle. The test on 12 March 2022 at 96,472 miles shows a duplicate entry with one failed and one passed result on the same day and mileage, though no defects were listed; this likely reflects an administrative re-test rather than a genuine mechanical fault. From March 2022 to February 2025 the van covered only 2,460 miles, then added 7,744 miles by April 2026, indicating prolonged low use followed by moderate recent activity. Given the clean MOT record, no previous owner neglected statutory testing or skipped basic upkeep. The absence of corrosion, suspension bush wear, or brake disc advisories suggests the chassis and running gear have been maintained to a passable standard. A buyer should still verify in person for hidden structural rust on the sills and chassis rails, check the condition of coil springs and brake calipers, and confirm the exhaust emissions match the low-mileage expectation. Long standing periods implied by the sparse mileage can allow moisture ingress and perished rubber components not always visible at test. Inspect tyre sidewalls for cracking, test the handbrake mechanism for binding, and review service evidence to support the recorded history before purchase.
