2008 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · FL58 UNV

The 2008 Ford Transit presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 23 November 2023 at 215,647 miles passed with no defects recorded, following clean passes in November 2022 at 209,632 miles and November 2021 at 205,088 miles. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across the available history. The recorded mileage of 215,647 over roughly 18 years equates to about 11,980 miles per year, which is typical for a Transit of this age. The records show steady annual accumulation: 205,088 miles in November 2021, 209,629 at the failed test on 8 November 2022, 209,632 the next day, and 215,647 by November 2023. The only anomaly is the failed test on 8 November 2022 at 209,629 miles, which the DVSA log lists with no defects recorded, and a pass was issued on 9 November 2022 at 209,632 miles. This suggests an administrative or data-entry failure rather than a mechanical rejection. The sparse history carries no advisories on tyres, suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and chassis corrosion, as the MOT record omits any advisory detail that might otherwise reveal early rust. At 215,647 miles the coil springs, suspension arms, and binding calipers warrant hands-on checks despite the clean test outcomes. The absence of recorded faults does not confirm component health, only that the tester raised none on the day.
