2007 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · KS07 KWB

The 2025 MOT for this 2007 Ford Transit was passed with several notable issues: a cracked windscreen, slightly corroded rear axle brake pipes, and front and rear brake pads wearing thin. These findings align with recurring concerns about brake system integrity and visibility, which have appeared in prior MOTs. The 2024 MOT included a failure for similar brake pipe corrosion, worn suspension components, and a tyre tread depth below legal limits, suggesting ongoing mechanical wear. A pattern of brake-related and suspension issues emerges, including corroded brake pipes, thin brake pads, and worn anti-roll bar joints. These defects indicate potential long-term wear on critical safety systems. While the 2025 MOT shows some improvements—such as the absence of failed lights or registration plate lamps—the persistence of brake pipe corrosion and thin pads suggests unresolved underlying issues. The 2024 failure highlights a broader trend of deteriorating components, though the 2025 pass implies repairs may have been made. The vehicle’s mileage of 502,173 miles over 19 years equates to roughly 26,430 miles annually, which is significantly higher than average. This high usage likely accelerates wear on consumables like brakes, tyres, and suspension parts. However, the absence of major defects in the 2022 MOT and the relatively clean 2023 report suggest the vehicle may have been well-maintained in earlier years.
