2008 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · ND58 BSV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 15 October 2022 at 95,759 miles passed without any defects, indicating that the vehicle met all minimum safety standards at that time. This follows a period of clean passes in 2021 and 2019, suggesting that the vehicle has maintained its mechanical integrity and structural soundness over the last several years. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 2008 Ford Transit, averaging approximately 5,320 miles per year. Between September 2019 and October 2022, the vehicle covered 20,056 miles, which represents a consistent usage rate. However, the two-year gap between the August 2020 and October 2022 tests suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods between intervals. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components and corrosion on brake discs or fuel lines. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the underside structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points, as Transits of this era are prone to corrosion if not regularly treated. Despite the clean records in recent years, the low mileage necessitates checking for seized suspension bushes or perished tyres which often occur due to age rather than distance. Since the last recorded MOT was performed nearly four years ago, a thorough check of the brake system condition and fluid levels is essential to ensure no significant leaks have developed since the 2022 test.
