2008 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · ML58 UWB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 June 2025 with 159,097 miles. While the record shows a failure exactly one day prior at the same mileage, the lack of recorded defects suggests an administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately before the retest. The absence of recurring advisories across the last three successful tests indicates the vehicle is currently in a condition that meets minimum regulatory standards. The mileage accumulation is consistent with an eighteen-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per annum. Between March 2024 and June 2025, the Transit covered 7,608 miles, showing a slight decrease in annual usage compared to the 2,473 miles recorded between March 2023 and March 2024. This pattern suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than being subjected to long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of rubber components and prevention of brake seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and floor pans, as these are the primary failure points for Transits of this era. Despite the clean MOT history, the age of the vehicle increases the likelihood of corrosion on mounting members and exhaust hangers. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or tearing, as the record does not capture the gradual degradation of these components until they reach a point of mechanical failure.
