2007 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · FG57 BCO

The most recent MOT test took place on 22 April 2023 at 122,119 miles and resulted in a failure with no defects formally recorded, leaving the vehicle's current roadworthiness unverified. The maintenance trend cannot be classed as stable, worsening, or improving from this data alone, as the single recent failure carries no advisory or defect detail and the test is now over three years old relative to today's date. Prior to that, the van passed cleanly on 23 March 2022 at 120,066 miles after an earlier failure on 9 March 2022 at the same mileage, also with no defects logged. The recorded mileage shows light use for a 2007 panel van, averaging roughly 6,400 miles per year across its life. Between the two 2022 tests and the 2023 failure the odometer advanced only 2,053 miles, indicating the vehicle saw minimal service in its final recorded year. A gap then opens from April 2023 to now, with no further tests submitted; the absence of entries suggests the Transit may have been laid up, exported, or simply fallen out of regular use. The repeated failures in March and April 2022 with zero defects noted point to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than confirmed mechanical fault, yet a buyer should not rely on that assumption. Given the age and dormant period since the last test, in-person inspection must cover structural corrosion on chassis rails and sills, condition of suspension bushes and coil springs, and brake disc and caliper condition after standing. Tyres and exhaust emissions should also be checked for degradation from prolonged storage. Without a current certificate, this Transit cannot be recommended as roadworthy on the strength of its MOT history. The sparse record offers no evidence of ongoing care beyond 2023, and any purchase should be conditional on a fresh test plus a physical check of the drivetrain and underbody integrity.
