2007 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · KU07 NXJ

The vehicle shows a history of reactive maintenance, where faults are addressed only after failing inspections. In the most recent test on 22 September 2025 at 287,100 miles, the Transit passed despite a significant failure just ten days prior. That September failure revealed a critical range of mechanical issues, including a missing road wheel fixing on the nearside front wheel, an excessively worn central front prop shaft bearing, and significant wear on the nearside front suspension arm bush. While these items were rectified, the presence of a front oil leak and a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit indicates that the vehicle is nearing another point requiring further upkeep. With 287,100 miles over 19 years, this vehicle has averaged approximately 15,000 miles per year. This high mileage is consistent with the wear observed on drivetrain and suspension components. The record between May 2024 and September 2025 shows a period of frequent failures within short intervals. In May 2024 at 283,589 miles, the vehicle failed for multiple reasons including excessive exhaust emissions, a faulty seat belt buckle, and numerous lighting failures. The fact that the ABS warning lamp reappeared in both 2024 and 2025 tests suggests a persistent electronic or sensor fault that has not been fully resolved or diagnosed. The suspension history reveals a trend of wear in rubber components and bushes. Multiple advisories regarding anti-roll bar bushes and leaf spring anchor pins have appeared across several years, indicating heavy-use patterns typical of a Transit. Furthermore, the nearside rear brake discs were noted as pitted and scored in 2024, suggesting age-related corrosion. A buyer should inspect the front oil leak for potential seal failure and verify that the ABS system has been properly cleared as it has been a recurring concern. The frayed seat belt webbing noted in 2024 is a safety critical item that requires immediate attention regardless of the current MOT status.
