2007 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · JG07 TOW

The vehicle presents a clean MOT profile in its most recent test on 12 March 2026 at 161,780 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. This indicates a recent period of stability following a more turbulent maintenance history. While the 2025 test at 151,380 miles flagged corrosion on the sump and underside alongside play in the rear prop shaft bearing, the absence of these issues in the latest inspection suggests that necessary remedial work was carried out to address these structural and mechanical concerns. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. A significant period of low usage is evident between 2017 and 2019, where the mileage only increased by roughly 12,000 miles over two years. However, a much higher rate of use is apparent from 2022 onwards, with the vehicle covering over 100,000 miles in just four years. This shift suggests the van has transitioned from light or intermittent use to a more intensive commercial workload. A buyer should pay close attention to the vehicle's underbody and braking system during a physical inspection. The MOT history shows a long-term trend of brake pipe corrosion, first noted in 2019 and recurring through 2023. Although the 2026 test was clear, the history of corroded pipes and thin brake pads suggests that the hydraulic lines and braking components require regular scrutiny. The recurring issues with suspension bushes and anti-roll bar linkages between 2023 and 2024 also indicate that the suspension components are subject to significant wear. Given the previous advisories regarding sump corrosion and underside rust in March 2025, a thorough check of the chassis and structural integrity is essential. While the most recent result is positive, the pattern of wear in the suspension and the history of corrosion mean that any signs of fresh oxidation or excessive play in the drivetrain should be treated with caution. The recent high-mileage usage increases the likelihood of wear on consumables such as tyres and suspension bushes, which should be verified against the current condition.
