2008 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · G6 WBC

The 2008 Ford Transit presents as roadworthy following a pass at 124,315 miles on 9 January 2026, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test came four days after a failure on 5 January 2026 at the same mileage, yet the DVSA record shows no defects listed against either entry, indicating the failure likely stemmed from an administrative or non-mechanical cause rather than a fault requiring rectification. Annual mileage has averaged close to 6,900 miles, typical for an eighteen-year-old light commercial vehicle. The records show 118,288 miles at the 28 December 2023 test, rising to 115,981 by 11 January 2023 and 121,137 at the 4 January 2025 examination, then 124,315 by January 2026. The gaps between tests are roughly twelve months apart with no abrupt accumulation, and the clean advisories across every entry suggest the previous keeper kept the van to a basic pass standard without flagged wear on tyres, brakes, or suspension. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points beneath the chassis and around suspension mounting areas, as MOT passes with no advisories on an older Transit do not guarantee absence of developing rust. The brake discs, calipers, and coil springs warrant hands-on checking for binding or fatigue not captured in the sparse record. Given the identical mileage on the two January 2026 entries, confirm the odometer reading is genuine and investigate why the earlier test failed with no defect logged.
