2007 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · EO57 KCV

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 19 November 2025, but this followed a significant failure just six weeks earlier on 6 October 2025. That failure identified multiple critical structural corrosion issues on the inner suspension mounting areas, which were subsequently addressed to achieve a pass. However, the November test still records corrosion on the offside rear suspension mounting and persistent brake component wear, indicating the underlying maintenance trend is only partially resolved and remains concerning, particularly regarding structural integrity. The recorded mileage of 91,525 miles over approximately 19 years averages a low 4,817 miles annually. The MOT history shows consistent, incremental mileage accumulation between tests with no suspicious gaps, suggesting the odometer reading is credible. This low annual usage may explain the relatively modest brake disc wear noted in November 2025, but it does not preclude significant age-related deterioration, as evidenced by the recurring severe corrosion in suspension mounting zones and perishing rubber components like ball joint dust covers across multiple tests. A buyer must prioritise a thorough in-person inspection of the suspension's structural mounting points, specifically the inner sills and chassis areas where excessive corrosion was previously flagged. The brake system requires detailed scrutiny beyond pad thickness, including the condition of the brake pedal, hydraulic pipes for corrosion, and a full functional test of the ABS system given its prior fault indication. Additionally, the power steering ram leak and oil leak noted in the last test should be verified as minor, and the windscreen damage assessed for its actual impact on visibility. The persistent advisories on suspension bushes and dust covers point to a general neglect of sealing components, inviting further investigation into the overall state of the drivetrain and steering linkages.
