2008 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · GU08 ABN

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on September 22, 2025 at 245,626 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has successfully addressed issues that led to previous failures. While the history shows failures in July 2023 and July 2025, the subsequent passes without recorded defects or advisories suggest that the current owner is proactive in rectifying mechanical or safety-related faults before the next test date. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 245,626 miles represents an average usage of approximately 13,646 miles per annum. This indicates consistent commercial use rather than long periods of inactivity. The data shows a steady accumulation of mileage, with 9,535 miles covered between July 2024 and July 2025, and another 9,528 miles in the following fourteen months. This level of operation puts significant cumulative stress on the drivetrain and suspension components, which is typical for a Transit of this age and workload. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points, as high-mileage vans are prone to corrosion in hidden areas. Although the most recent test recorded no defects, the manual inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and control arms is necessary to check for accelerated wear. Given the high mileage, a thorough check for oil leaks and the condition of the brake system is vital to ensure the vehicle is not nearing the end of a major mechanical failure despite its clean MOT record.
