Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its most recent pass on 26 June 2026 at 101,544 miles. However, the maintenance trend is worsening. While the vehicle passed, the tester flagged new structural corrosion on the offside rear outer sill and a damaged windscreen. An oil leak has now become a recurring issue, appearing as an advisory in both the June 2026 and July 2025 tests. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old Transit, averaging roughly 5,344 miles per year. The record shows a steady increase from 94,148 miles in July 2024 to 101,544 miles in June 2026. This low usage pattern often suggests the vehicle has spent significant time stationary, which frequently correlates with the type of structural corrosion and perished rubber components seen in this history. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the chassis and sills. The June 2026 entry confirms corrosion on the offside rear sill, and while the tester deemed structural rigidity sufficient for now, this is a progressive fault. The recurring oil leak across two years suggests a persistent gasket or seal failure that has not been permanently rectified. The steering and suspension history indicates a period of neglect around July 2024. The vehicle failed that test due to excessively worn front lower suspension arm ball joints and play in the steering rack inner joints. Frequent failures on tyre tread and cord damage, specifically in July 2024 and July 2025, suggest a reactive approach to maintenance where consumables are run to the legal limit rather than replaced preventatively.
