2006 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · MK56 CLF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The most recent test conducted on 22 September 2025 at 166,391 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating the vehicle currently meets the minimum legal roadworthiness standards. Following a single failure in September 2024, the vehicle passed its immediate retest without recorded defects, suggesting that the owner is proactive in addressing identified faults to maintain basic safety and emissions compliance. The mileage accumulation remains consistent with a twenty-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 8,320 miles per annum. Between July 2022 at 157,451 miles and September 2025 at 166,391 miles, the vehicle covered 8,940 miles, reflecting a steady usage pattern rather than heavy commercial over-loading. The 3,315-mile gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests shows regular operation, suggesting the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of stationary neglect which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and seizing of mechanical parts. Given the age and mileage of this Ford Transit, a physical inspection must focus on structural integrity across the chassis and mounting points. While the MOT record shows no recent mechanical failures, vehicles of this era are prone to corrosion in the sills and rear subframe. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of excessive fatigue, as these are common points of wear on high-mileage vans. The lack of advisories in the last two tests suggests the brakes are currently in good condition, but a manual check for binding calipers or disc thickness remains necessary to ensure no uneven wear is developing between test intervals.
