2008 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · GF08 NNJ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its latest MOT in August 2025 at 94,939 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend following a significant failure in late 2024. While the most recent test suggests the vehicle is in good order, the history indicates it has previously suffered from structural and mechanical issues that required immediate attention to achieve the current clean pass record. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 94,939 miles reflects a low average of approximately 5,274 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent in recent years, with roughly 2,700 miles covered between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 2,346 miles leading to the most recent test. Such low mileage on an older commercial vehicle often leads to degradation of rubber components and seals due to age rather than wear if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods. A physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity of the sills, as the October 2024 failure flagged excessive corrosion on the nearside rear outer suspension mounting area. Although the vehicle passed since, rust is a progressive condition that requires close monitoring to ensure structural strength is not compromised. The buyer should also verify that the ABS and electronic stability control faults triggered in 2024 have been properly rectified, as these are critical safety-related systems. The braking system warrants a closer look given that the front brake discs were noted as worn and pitted in October 2024. Additionally, the vacuum pump oil leak identified in 2023 should be checked for current activity to ensure the leak has not worsened or begun affecting other engine components. Given the low mileage and age of this Ford Transit, inspecting the suspension bushes and perished hoses for cracking is essential, as often occurs on low-mileage older vehicles.
