2007 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · FH57 LDD

The Ford Transit passed its most recent MOT on 6 November 2021 at 187,026 miles with no defects recorded, leaving the maintenance trend neither improving nor worsening but simply static due to the absence of any subsequent test data. Given that today is 8 July 2026, the vehicle has gone over four and a half years without a recorded MOT, meaning its current roadworthiness cannot be confirmed from the official record and the last verified status is stale. The recorded mileage of 187,026 at the November 2021 test equates to roughly 9,800 miles per year across the van's 19 years, a pattern consistent with typical light commercial use and no signs of rapid accumulation or prolonged standing. The single clean pass with no advisories provides no evidence of recurring faults, yet the sparse history offers little insight into how the previous owner managed consumables or structural care between 2007 and 2021. A buyer must treat the four-year MOT gap as the primary concern. Without a test since 2021, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers may have degraded through disuse or weather exposure, and structural corrosion on the chassis and sills is plausible on a 2007 van left untested. The clean 2021 sheet does not exempt the vehicle from a full underside inspection for rust and a check of tyre condition, fluid leaks and brake binding before any road use. Given the age and elapsed time, commission an independent pre-purchase inspection covering emissions, steering joints and load-bearing structure. The absence of historical advisories is reassuring but meaningless without a current test to confirm the Transit remains mechanically sound at 187,000-plus miles.
