Our Verdict
Exercise caution before purchasing this
When inspecting this vehicle, you should focus heavily on the underside and the braking system. The most recent MOT history (2025) shows multiple brake pipes recorded as corroded and covered in grease, which is a recurring theme from the 2022 test. You should also ask for evidence that the brake pipe repairs were carried out thoroughly and not just masked with grease.
Furthermore, the vehicle has had repeated advisories regarding 'Integral body structure' corrosion on the nearside and offside inner sills. It is essential to inspect these areas to ensure the corrosion is not progressing beyond what was noted in the 2025 MOT. Check the service history for any mention of chassis treatment or rust prevention, especially as the 2022 record mentions the underside was undersealed.
As a 2.2L diesel commercial vehicle, running costs will be higher than a standard passenger car. Fuel economy will depend heavily on load and driving style, but the 2198cc engine is typical for this class of van.
Maintenance costs may be impacted by the recurring issues seen in the MOT history, specifically regarding brake components and potential structural repairs. You should budget for regular inspections of the underside. Tax and insurance groups for a 2008 Transit are generally moderate for commercial users, but always obtain a specific quote based on your profile.
A thorough inspection of the braking system is mandatory. The 2025 MOT history specifically flagged corrosion on both front and rear brake pipes across the nearside and offside. Ensure these have been replaced with new, non-corroded lines.
Secondly, inspect the structural integrity of the sills and suspension mountings. The MOT records from 2022, 2023, and 2025 all mention corrosion to the integral body structure (inner sills and mounting areas). While the 2025 record states structural rigidity was not significantly reduced, the repeated nature of these findings warrants a close look with a torch to check for significant scale or holes. Finally, check for any active oil leaks, as this was noted as an advisory in both 2022 and 2025.
This 2008 blue Ford Transit (DX58NFV) has covered 136,517 miles as of its most recent MOT in September 2025. The vehicle's recent history is defined by a failed MOT in September 2025, which was subsequently passed, but the records indicate persistent issues with brake pipe corrosion and integral body structure corrosion. While it has passed several tests since 2022, the pattern of advisories and failures suggests ongoing maintenance requirements regarding the underside and braking system.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 74.4%, with corrosion and headlamps being common failure reasons.
