1995 Ford Transit 2.5L Diesel · D4 REV

The 1995 Ford Transit presents a stable and sound roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 30 April 2025 at 99,051 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year clean sheet. The maintenance trend shows no worsening or recurring faults across the available record. Annual mileage remains exceptionally low for a 31-year-old commercial vehicle. The records show 95,589 miles at the 20 April 2022 test, rising to 97,111 by 20 March 2023, 98,177 by 18 April 2024, and 99,051 by April 2025. That equates to roughly 874 miles per year across the period, well below typical usage. Such limited movement over three years suggests long periods of standing rather than regular road work, though the clean test history gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still verify in person what static storage can conceal. Prolonged disuse on a Transit of this age commonly accelerates perished rubber components such as suspension bushes and brake hose degradation, alongside surface corrosion to chassis rails and sills even when structural integrity passed inspection. The tester logged no advisories on brake discs, coil springs, or exhaust emissions, yet these items warrant hands-on checks for binding calipers and hidden rust. Given the sparse and clean MOT data, the previous keeper clearly kept the vehicle lightly used and test-compliant. The absence of any advisory or failure across 2022 to 2025 implies basic upkeep was maintained, but low mileage alone does not certify mechanical fitness. A pre-purchase inspection beneath the van remains sensible before commitment.
