2007 Ford Transit 100 T350L D/C RWD Heavy oil · LHZ 6016

The most recent MOT test on 27 February 2026 confirms this 2007 Ford Transit remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded at 149,213 miles. The absence of advisories or failings across the last three tests—including the 2025 and 2023 cycles—suggests a stable maintenance pattern, though the 2023 failure at 133,715 miles was unusually brief (eight days between tests), which may indicate a rushed or overlooked service. The vehicle’s compliance with emissions and structural checks in each pass implies no major hidden issues, but the lack of advisories in prior tests means critical wear—such as rear suspension bushes or coil springs—could have gone unnoticed. Buyers should treat this as a baseline for further scrutiny rather than a guarantee of long-term reliability. The mileage progression of roughly 7,853 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, though the gap between the 2023 failure and subsequent pass (eight days) is anomalous and suggests either a test error or a deliberate attempt to bypass a minor oversight. The most significant mileage jump occurred between the 2022 and 2023 tests, where the vehicle covered 4,518 miles in under a year, which could imply heavier usage or a period of active service. No extended periods of inactivity are evident, reducing the risk of neglected fluid degradation or seized components, but it also means higher wear on high-mileage items like brake pads, tyres, and clutch (if applicable). Given the absence of recorded defects, the most prudent areas for an in-person inspection would be the suspension geometry—particularly the rear bushes and coil springs—since their failure would not necessarily trigger an MOT fail until they become severely compromised. The braking system, including rear caliper binding (a common silent failure in older vans) and front/rear disc thickness, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as the lack of advisories does not preclude gradual deterioration. Structural integrity, especially around the sills, wheel arches, and rear subframe, warrants close examination for corrosion or fatigue cracks, as these are often silent until they reach critical stages. Finally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive rust, as this is frequently overlooked until it affects emissions or structural support.
