2008 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · FL08 RPV

The Ford Transit presents a passed roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 2 February 2023 at 193,048 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the supplied record. The vehicle passed that test with no defects recorded, though it had failed earlier the same day at identical mileage before the pass, suggesting a minor administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the same pattern occurred on 28 March 2022 at 191,622 miles, where a fail with no defects logged was followed by a pass on the same date. At roughly 18 years old the Transit shows 193,048 recorded miles, equating to about 10,725 miles per year which is typical for a light commercial of this age. The record moves from 191,622 miles in March 2022 to 193,048 miles in February 2023, a low annual accumulation of some 1,426 miles that implies lighter recent use or periods off the road. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, with no advisories or defects listed across either year, so the history offers little insight into wear on consumables or structure. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the lack of recorded advisories that normally appear on high-mileage Transits. The same-day fail-then-pass entries at both 2022 and 2023 tests warrant checking with the seller whether any rectification or presentation correction was needed. Structural corrosion around chassis rails and sills should be examined closely, as the MOT record does not confirm or deny such condition. Given the clean but thin history, treat the van as unverified mechanically despite the pass. The recurring same-day fail with no defects suggests clerical rather than wear-driven issues, yet absence of advisories at 193,048 miles is unusual for a 2008 commercial and may reflect lenient testing rather than genuine condition.
