2004 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · FL54 OKC

The 2004 Ford Transit presents a current roadworthy status based on the most recent test, a pass recorded on 16 November 2021 at 165,752 miles with no defects listed. The maintenance trend cannot be judged as stable, worsening, or improving from this record alone, as only two entries exist within a five-day window and both show clean results aside from the failure classification. The vehicle cleared its retest one working day after the initial attempt, implying the failed test on 11 November 2021 at 165,751 miles carried no recorded defect and likely involved an administrative or unlogged non-mechanical issue. Mileage sits at 165,752 across roughly 22 years, equating to about 7,534 miles per year and matching typical light commercial use for this model. The record shows a single-mile gap between the failed and passed tests, then absolute silence for over four and a half years to today's date of 8 July 2026. Such a sparse history with no entries since late 2021 denies any view of wear progression on consumables or drivetrain components through the recent period. A buyer must treat the absent MOT data since November 2021 as a blank slate requiring physical verification. The clean advisories at the last pass mean no prior warnings on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions were raised, yet four and a half years of unrecorded use at this age invites hidden degradation. Inspect structural integrity underneath for rust, check coil springs and binding calipers at the wheels, and confirm tyre tread and wiper condition before any road use. Given the Transit's age and the unexplained 2021 failure with no defect noted, suspect either a documentation error at the test centre or a fault cleared without DVSA capture. Verify the V5C and ask the seller for service receipts covering 2022 to 2026, as the MOT alone offers no assurance of care across that gap.
