2006 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · NA56 LWR

The 2022‑01‑20 MOT at 240,428 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the DVSA roadworthiness standards and that the maintenance record has remained stable over the past two years. Since the 2011 test at 107,670 miles, the recorded mileage has risen sharply, adding roughly 132,758 miles over the subsequent 15 years, with the most rapid increase occurring between 2017 (198,303 miles) and the 2022 test, suggesting intensive use or long periods of standing followed by high‑kilometre operation. Recurring observations in earlier certificates—worn suspension arm pins and bushes, deteriorated ball‑joint dust covers, excessive rear anti‑roll bar linkage wear, slight wheel bearing play, and repeated brake pad and disc wear—point to components that have experienced repeated stress and may require close inspection for play, corrosion or imminent failure. A buyer should therefore examine the condition of the front and rear suspension wishbones, ball joints and bushes for excessive movement or rust, verify that brake pads and discs are within legal thickness, check wheel bearing for play, assess tyre tread and edge wear, and look for any new oil leaks or structural corrosion that could indicate deferred maintenance.
