2006 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · FJ55 YLE

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 8 December 2025 at 38,825 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of passing without a single advisory or failure, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or used in a manner that has caused minimal wear. The mileage is remarkably low for a 2006 model, averaging under 2,000 miles per year. Between 8 December 2021 at 34,385 miles and 8 December 2025 at 38,825 miles, the vehicle covered only 4,440 miles. This pattern suggests the van has spent significant periods stationary or has been used for very short, light-duty trips. While the MOT record is flawless, the low usage pattern introduces specific risks that the tester may not have flagged. A buyer should physically inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check for binding calipers, as components often seize when left idle. Rubber elements, including suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, can perish due to age regardless of low mileage. Check the chassis and sills for structural rust, as older Transits are prone to corrosion even if they have not seen heavy road use. Verify that the engine oil and coolant show no signs of degradation from long standing periods. The lack of recorded faults is positive, but the age of the vehicle means a manual check of the fluid conditions and rubber seals is necessary to confirm its actual mechanical health.
