2001 Ford Transit 350 MWB TD 2.4L Diesel · KCZ 7108

The most recent MOT test occurred on 23 December 2021 at 107,871 miles, resulting in a clean pass with zero defects recorded. This indicates the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards at that time. However, the maintenance trend is currently impossible to assess due to a significant gap in testing. The vehicle has been without a valid MOT certificate for over four and a half years as of June 2026, rendering its present roadworthiness status entirely unknown. The recorded mileage of 107,871 miles across 25 years equates to roughly 4,315 miles annually, a notably low figure for a commercial diesel van. Between the failed test on 15 December 2021 at 107,853 miles and the subsequent pass on 23 December 2021 at 107,871 miles, the vehicle covered just 18 miles. This minimal movement suggests the van may have been stationary for extended periods or used only for very short, localized trips. Prolonged inactivity often causes rubber suspension bushes and brake calipers to deteriorate, while brake discs and the exhaust system risk surface corrosion from standing idle. Given the absence of recent mechanical data, a thorough physical inspection is essential. Buyers must scrutinize the structural integrity of the chassis and bulkhead, as older long-wheelbase Transits are highly susceptible to corrosion. The braking system requires close attention; seized binding calipers and pitted brake discs are common on vehicles left standing. Suspension components, particularly coil springs and mounting bushes, should be checked for cracking and perishing. A professional inspection of the drivetrain and fuel system is also warranted to identify any diesel injector issues or fuel line degradation resulting from prolonged inactivity.
