2004 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · MW04 EYA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection data. The MOT test conducted on 08 July 2024 at 190,086 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. While a failure occurred in late June 2023, the immediate re-pass on the same day suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults once flagged by the tester. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 22-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 8,640 miles per annum. Between June 2021 and July 2024, the Transit covered 28,869 miles, maintaining a steady usage pattern without significant spikes or long periods of stationary-related neglect. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not been left idle, which often helps prevent internal component corrosion and seizing, though the high total mileage of 190,086 miles places significant cumulative stress on the drivetrain and suspension assemblies. Given the age and high mileage of this Ford, a physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension mounting points. Although the recent records show no advisories, Transits of this era are prone to structural corrosion on the sills and rear cross members. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension bushes for per and check for weeping at the shock absorbers, as these components are often the first to fail on high-mileage vans regardless of a clean MOT history.
