MOT Roadworthiness: Poor
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.
Verify lender finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen registers, and mileage rollback.

Our Verdict
Exercise extreme caution with this vehic
Your primary focus should be the quality of the repairs carried out following the August 2023 and January 2024 failures. Request detailed invoices for the structural welding performed on the doorsteps, wings, and sills, as well as evidence of the prop shaft bearing replacement. Be wary of fresh undersealing that may be used to hide remaining rust.
Given the history of brake pipe corrosion and efficiency failures, check for any signs of further oxidation on the chassis. Negotiate the price based on the high likelihood of future corrosion-related maintenance, which is a known common failure point for this model.
The 2.4L diesel engine provides the necessary power for a Transit but comes with associated costs in fuel and tax. Maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age and mileage are typically higher, particularly regarding suspension components and braking systems.
Annual costs will be influenced by the insurance group and the need for frequent preventative maintenance to combat the rust issues highlighted in the history. Expect higher-than-average spending on consumables and structural upkeep.
Perform a thorough physical inspection of the sills, wing areas, and doorsteps to ensure the 'integral body structure' corrosion noted in 2023 has been permanently repaired rather than patched. Check the prop shaft for stability and the brake pipes for any signs of excessive corrosion, as these were specific failure points in the recent history.
Verify that the Engine Management Light (MIL) functions correctly and is not illuminated, as this was a recurring failure item. Ensure all exterior lamps are operational, as multiple lighting failures were recorded in 2023.
This 2007 white Ford Transit 2.4L diesel has recorded 156,604 miles. The MOT history is concerning, showing a series of failures in 2023 and early 2024 involving critical structural corrosion and mechanical faults. Although it passed its most recent test in February 2024 with no defects, the preceding records reveal a vehicle that required substantial remedial work to be roadworthy.
With an average MOT pass rate of 74.4% across over 735,000 vehicles, the Transit is generally robust, though corrosion is one of its top three failure reasons.
