2008 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · FN08 KZT

The 2008 Ford Transit presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 15 August 2025 at 174,712 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. The vehicle cleared its prior annual examination on 2 August 2024 at 165,099 miles, also with no advisories. Two earlier failures on 30 July 2024 and 11 July 2023 at identical mileages of 165,099 and 141,756 respectively show no defects were logged by the tester, indicating administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults. The ownership pattern suggests the van has been kept to a consistent standard once retested. Recorded mileage of 174,712 against an 18-year lifespan equates to roughly 9,706 miles per year, a typical figure for a light commercial vehicle of this class. The step from 141,757 miles on 26 July 2023 to 165,099 miles by 2 August 2024 covers 23,342 miles in twelve months, above the annual average and reflecting a period of heavier vocational use. From August 2024 to August 2025 the van added only 9,613 miles, dropping back toward norm. The DVSA data is sparse on fault detail, with every pass and fail carrying a clean defect sheet, so no wear trends on tyres, brakes, or suspension appear in the record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on the chassis rails, sills, and suspension mounting points given the vehicle's age and commercial duty cycle. The front suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant measurement for wear, as the MOT record offers no visibility of consumable condition between tests. The twin failed-then-passed sequences in July 2023 and July 2024 imply the keeper addressed minor compliance matters quickly, but the absence of advisories means underlying fatigue in steering joints or exhaust emissions systems remains unconfirmed by the paper history.
