2007 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · HW07 AAU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 18 November 2025 at 61,182 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful retests. The vehicle failed in both December 2024 and November 2025, but passed shortly thereafter, suggesting that the previous owner addressed specific defects only when prompted by the official testing process rather than following a preventative mechanical schedule. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old Ford Transit, averaging approximately 3,220 miles per year. Between November 2023 at 58,368 miles and December 2024 at 60,055 miles, the vehicle covered only 1,687 miles in over a thirteen-month period. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of inactivity often lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts, such as suspension bushes, tyres, and brake lines, as well as potential corrosion on brake discs. A buyer must conduct a thorough structural inspection of the chassis and mounting points, as low-mileage commercial vehicles often suffer from age-related corrosion that mileage does not prevent. Because the MOT history shows no specific recorded defects for the failures, the buyer should check for seized brake calipers or perished rubber components that are common in vans that sit for extended periods. Inspect the suspension for signs of cracking or perished seals to ensure that the low usage has not masked underlying structural decay or mechanical neglect.
