2008 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · KT08 JYP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent years of testing. The last recorded MOT test conducted on 30 November 2021 at 171,826 miles passed with no defects or advisories noted. This indicates that as of that specific inspection, the vehicle met all primary safety and environmental standards. However, because more than four and a half years have elapsed since this test, the current roadworthiness of the Transit is unverified and requires an immediate inspection to account for potential degradation while stationary. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a light-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per annum. Between July 2018 and November 2020, the vehicle covered 10,600 miles, showing a steady rate of use. There is a notable gap in the records between June 2019 and November 2020, where the vehicle covered only 3,600 miles over seventeen months. The subsequent lack of data since late 2021 suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary or been used infrequently, which often leads to brake system corrosion and the perished of rubber components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension components given the age and the long interval between professional tests. The 2019 failure regarding rear stop lamps was a minor electrical oversight, but the lack of advisories in the later tests may mask the current state of the chassis, leaf springs, and suspension bushes. Check for structural rust on the frame members and mounting points, which are common on older Transits, and ensure the brake calipers are not seized due to the vehicle's period of inactivity.
