Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution before purc
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the chassis and structural components. The MOT history for this specific van shows repeated issues with the nearside step being 'corroded/holed' and, more critically, significant corrosion on the rear suspension spring mountings in 2024. You must ensure these structural repairs were carried out to a professional standard and not merely patched over.
When negotiating, consider the potential for future corrosion-related failures, which are a common theme for this vehicle. Ask for evidence of any welding or structural work performed following the 2024 and 2025 MOT failures. Additionally, check the condition of the brake pipes and track rod ends, as these have been flagged as failure points in recent years.
As a 2.2L diesel workhorse, running costs will be dictated by its usage as a commercial vehicle. Fuel economy will depend heavily on load and driving style, but expect typical diesel van figures. This vehicle falls into a higher insurance group due to its utility nature and age.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average due to the documented history of suspension, steering, and corrosion issues. Expect to budget for periodic replacement of wear items like brake pipes and ball joints. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, are approximately £2,200-£2,800.
Focus heavily on the underside of the vehicle. The MOT history explicitly mentions 'n/s step corroded/holed' in 2025 and 2026, and 'nearside/offside rear suspension spring mounting' corrosion in 2024. These are structural concerns that go beyond simple surface rust.
Check the steering components and braking system. The vehicle has previously failed for an 'offside track rod end ball joint' with excessive play and an 'offside rear brake pipe' that was excessively corroded. Finally, inspect the wheel bearings, as the 2026 MOT recorded 'slight play' in the offside front wheel bearing.
This 2007 Ford Transit has covered 131,786 miles since its first registration in July 2007, which is notably higher than the model average of 8,947 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of failures related to corrosion, specifically affecting the nearside step and rear suspension spring mountings. While it passed its most recent test in July 2026, the history of structural advisories and failures suggests a vehicle that has faced significant wear.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 74.4% MOT pass rate, with corrosion and tyres being among the most common reasons for failure.
