2004 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · FN04 KFK

The 2004 Ford Transit presents as roadworthy following a passed MOT on 3 June 2025 at 156,113 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with the most recent test showing a clean result after a same-day failure on 3 June 2025 that listed no defects, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault. Prior tests in 2024 and 2023 also passed without advisories, indicating no worsening pattern of wear or recurring mechanical concerns. Recorded mileage sits at 156,113 against an age of around 22 years, equating to roughly 7,096 miles per year which is typical for a light commercial vehicle of this type. The gap between the 18 April 2023 test at 143,725 miles and the 7 June 2024 test at 147,673 miles shows only 3,948 miles covered in just over thirteen months, a low-use period for a Transit. From June 2024 to June 2025 the van added 8,440 miles, returning to expected annual totals. The sparse record shows no rapid accumulation or standing-related anomalies beyond that quiet year. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity given the vehicle's age and steel body construction, focusing on chassis rails, sill sections, and suspension mounting points for corrosion not captured by the clean MOT entries. The tester raised no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or exhaust emissions across any recorded test, so no specific component trend demands attention. Verify the 3 June 2025 failure reason with DVSA, as the zero-defect flag offers no technical detail on what triggered the rejection before the same-day pass.
