2004 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · DF04 YPX

The 2025‑12‑11 MOT passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the 2004 Ford Transit is presently roadworthy and that the maintenance trend appears stable, despite earlier failures on 2025‑12‑04 and 2024‑11‑29 that logged no defects. The consistent absence of logged defects across four of five tests suggests that any previous issues were either non‑defective failures or promptly resolved, indicating a reliable maintenance record. Only one mileage figure is available, 104,173 miles at the 2023‑11‑29 test, which implies an annual mileage of roughly 35,000 miles if the interval to the 2025 tests is accurate, but the lack of earlier odometer readings prevents a definitive assessment of mileage accumulation relative to the vehicle’s 22‑year age, leaving the data sparse. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, examine the brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion, check the structural integrity of the chassis and wheel arches for rust, verify exhaust condition and emissions compliance, and assess tyre tread depth and wear patterns. Since no defects were logged in the most recent test, the vehicle may have been well cared for, yet the prior failures without recorded defects could conceal hidden corrosion or intermittent mechanical faults, making a thorough physical inspection essential before purchase.
