2008 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · DX08 KZD

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in March 2026, but the report contains several concerning advisories. There is now play in the nearside front steering rack inner joint and seepage from the offside steering rack, alongside ongoing corrosion of the power steering pipes. A clear and worrying pattern of corrosion has existed since at least 2023. The brake pipes have been consistently flagged as corroded and covered in grease or underseal. This suggests a persistent effort to mask the condition of the pipes to pass inspections. The condition trend is worsening. While the vehicle passed in 2023 and 2024, it suffered a failed test in March 2025 due to a leaking offside rear brake pipe. The most recent 2026 entry shows that these defects are persisting and expanding to include steering rack play. The vehicle has very low mileage for its age, averaging roughly 2,706 miles per year. While this implies less wear on the drivetrain, the extensive corrosion and the heavy use of underseal suggest the vehicle may have spent long periods standing or been kept in a damp environment.
