The last year shows a higher usage but remains within a low‑mileage range for a vehicle of this age. When inspecting the Transit in person, focus on items that are not covered by the MOT but are critical for long‑term reliability. Verify tyre tread depth, tread uniformity and sidewall integrity; tyre wear can reveal alignment or suspension issues. Check the brake system: inspect discs for warping, pads for wear, and calipers for binding or leakage. Examine the suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers for cracking or excessive play. Inspect the steering rack and tie‑rod ends for wear or corrosion. Look under the vehicle for rust on the chassis, wheel arches and body panels, and confirm that the exhaust system is free from leaks or damage. Finally, confirm that the engine bay is clean and that all fluid levels are within specification, as these are good indicators of overall maintenance quality.
