2008 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · LD08 AEK

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 December 2025 at 36,541 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor issue resolved immediately. The mileage is exceptionally low for an 18 year old Ford Transit, averaging roughly 2,030 miles per year. Between 21 December 2021 at 34,386 miles and 10 December 2025 at 36,541 miles, the vehicle covered only 2,155 miles over nearly four years. This pattern indicates the van has spent significant periods standing still rather than being used for regular commercial work. Low usage often leads to specific mechanical degradation not always captured in a standard MOT. A buyer should physically inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check for binding calipers caused by inactivity. The tyres should be examined for flat spots or perishing due to age rather than tread wear. Given the age of the chassis, a thorough check for structural corrosion is essential, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points. Rubber components such as suspension bushes and coolant hoses may have hardened or cracked over 18 years regardless of the low mileage. A full fluid service is recommended to ensure the engine oil and brake fluid have not degraded during long periods of dormancy.
