2007 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · FX07 FZT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a clear improving trend following a period of mechanical inconsistency. The most recent MOT conducted on 24 June 2026 at 57,861 miles passed with no defects or advisories. This follows three years of clean results dating back to 2023, indicating that the issues identified in earlier inspections have been addressed and the vehicle is currently being maintained to a standard that meets minimum requirements. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old Transit, averaging approximately 3,045 miles per year. Data shows a significant period of stagnation between April 2022 and July 2023, where the vehicle covered only 29 miles in over fourteen months. Since 2023, usage has resumed at a more consistent rate of roughly 3,500 miles per annum. While the low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the history suggests that rubber-based components and braking systems are susceptible to degradation and corrosion during long periods of inactivity. A buyer must prioritise an inspection of the structural integrity and fluid seals despite the recent clean passes. The 2021 failure noted corrosion on the nearside outer sill section, which requires a thorough check to ensure structural rot has not progressed. Furthermore, the record shows a recurring history of brake contamination and oil leaks, specifically in 2020, 2021, and 2022. The buyer should verify the rear axle area and front brake pipe runs for active weeping or fresh corrosion, as these have been repeated points of failure. The suspension also warrants attention due to the 2019 and 2020 failures involving worn arm bushes and rough wheel bearings. Given the low mileage and age, the tyres should be inspected specifically for sidewall cracking or perished, a condition previously flagged in the 2020 test. While the fuel tank leak noted in 2018 was resolved, the area should be checked for any signs of deformation or secondary corrosion that often affects older vans.
