2007 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · LE07 GZJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its April 2026 MOT test, which revealed only minor issues including a nearside front tyre damage and several valve stem defects. However, the preceding March 2026 test had failed due to worn brake discs, a leaking brake pipe, and excessive play in track rod ends, indicating a concerning deterioration in brake system integrity and suspension alignment. The most recent test also noted corrosion in multiple structural areas, including the front sub-frame and macpherson struts, though these were deemed not to compromise structural rigidity. Overall, the maintenance trend shows a worsening pattern with recurring brake-related failures and increasing corrosion. The vehicle’s mileage of 90,309 miles over nearly 19 years equates to an average of approximately 4,753 miles annually, which is unusually low for its age. Mileage progression appears consistent, with no significant jumps or gaps evident in the MOT history. The most recent entry at 90,309 miles follows closely after the prior test at 90,302 miles, suggesting minimal usage between tests. This low annual mileage may indicate extended periods of inactivity, contributing to the observed corrosion and potential brake component degradation. Brake system concerns are persistent throughout the history, with brake discs failing twice within a 12-month period and leaking brake hoses noted in multiple tests. Suspension components show signs of wear, particularly in the track rod ends and wheel bearings, with excessive play in the nearside front bearing recorded in 2024. Structural corrosion is widespread, especially in the front sub-frame and vehicle structure, although classified as non-structural. Buyers should inspect the brake lines, discs, and suspension ball joints carefully, as well as assess the extent of rust in the frame and wheel arches. The vehicle presents a mixed picture of mechanical condition, with routine maintenance issues such as tyre wear and valve stem damage appearing manageable. However, the repeated brake failures and progressive corrosion suggest a lack of proactive maintenance. The presence of oil leaks, both front and rear, indicates potential sealing problems that may worsen without attention. Buyers should consider a detailed pre-purchase inspection focusing on brake performance, suspension integrity, and structural soundness, particularly in areas of known corrosion.
