2008 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · MV58 LRX

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding structural integrity and braking system degradation. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 90,344 miles passed, the tester flagged significant pitting on brake discs across all four wheels and a nearside rear tyre reaching the legal limit. The presence of structural corrosion on the underbody in several consecutive tests suggests that the vehicle is subject to ongoing environmental damage that has not been fully addressed despite the passing results. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 90,344 miles is remarkably low, averaging just over 5,000 miles per year. However, there is a significant five-year data gap between September 2019 and October 2024, during which the vehicle covered only 1,122 miles. This pattern suggests the Transit likely sat stationary for long periods, which often often leads to the accelerated degradation of rubber components and the onset of corrosion on metal surfaces, as seen in the recurring brake pipe issues and structural rust. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the integrity of the chassis and sills, as the record consistently notes corrosion on the inner sills, front subframe, and underbody. The buyer should specifically examine the brake lines for further flaking or surface corrosion noted in 2018 and 2024, as these are high-risk areas for failure. Additionally, the recurring reports of worn anti-roll bar bushes and drop links between 2018 and 2019 indicates that the suspension components are nearing the end of their functional life due to age rather than mileage.
