2007 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · GF57 PFZ

The vehicle presents a deteriorating structural and mechanical condition, despite its most recent pass status. While it cleared the latest test in March 2026 at 122,670 miles, the history reveals a clear progression of advanced corrosion and mechanical neglect. The October 2025 failure for significant structural corrosion on the nearside rear suspension mounting and sills led directly into the March 2026 advisories for corroded underbody, chassis frames, and sills. This indicates that the rate of decay is accelerating rather than being managed. The recorded mileage of 122,670 miles over 19 years averages to approximately 6,456 miles per year, which is consistent with light-duty commercial use of this age. However, the data shows a discrepancy between the June 2023 test at 125,647 miles and the August 2024 test at 119,280 miles, suggesting a potential recording error or unrecorded mileage. Aside from this anomaly, the vehicle has covered roughly 3,400 miles in the last two years, which is low and may mask the actual degradation of rubber components. A buyer must prioritise a thorough structural inspection of the sills, outriggers, and chassis mounting. The recurring reports of corroded brake pipes across all axles over last three years suggest a high risk of sudden failure if these lines are not replaced. The suspension also shows signs of systemic wear, with steering rack inner joints, suspension arm bushes, and anti-roll bar bushes flagged in recent tests. Given the persistent oil leaks that escalated to excessive in late 2025, the engine seals also require a professional assessment to determine the true source of the loss.
