2008 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · FH08 KUV

The 2008 Ford Transit presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 25 June 2025 at 61,779 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available record. The June 2025 test shows a pass and a fail logged on the same day at identical mileage with no defects recorded, which points to an administrative or presentation anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior passes in June 2024 at 59,716 miles and June 2023 with no advisories confirm a clean test history over the last three years. The mileage pattern is unusual for an eighteen-year-old van. The record shows 80,503 miles on 16 November 2021, then a drop to 59,716 miles by June 2024 and 61,779 by June 2025. That reversal is not physically plausible without a clerical error in the November 2021 entry, and the low overall average of roughly 3,400 miles per year suggests long idle periods. Sparse testing between late 2021 and mid 2023 leaves a gap where standing corrosion or perished seals may have developed unseen. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity and underbody corrosion closely, as the Transit chassis is prone to rot where moisture sits. Check suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related degradation from low-use storage. Verify the true mileage against service books, given the conflicting 2021 figure. Confirm the June 2025 same-day fail was a data error, not a concealed defect. With no advisories logged, the van looks well kept, but a physical check of tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions remains sensible before purchase.
