2007 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · NM07 TLX

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-30 confirmed the 2007 Ford Transit passed but highlighted multiple safety-critical issues. Offside Front Suspension ball joint play, deteriorated Nearside Front Suspension arm dust cover, and corroded brake pipes (front and rear) were recorded. Corrosion on suspension mounting areas was also noted, though described as non-excessive. These findings indicate ongoing wear in critical suspension and braking components, which could compromise handling and safety. Recurring corrosion issues dominate the MOT history. Brake pipes covered in grease or corrosion were flagged in 2025-04-17 and 2026-04-30, with the 2025-04-08 failure revealing severe body and chassis corrosion, including structural rigidity losses in sill areas and excessive corrosion near body mountings. These issues suggest environmental exposure or poor maintenance may have accelerated degradation, particularly in vulnerable areas like the underbody and suspension. The trend shows worsening conditions. The 2025-04-08 failure included ABS and ESC faults, which were absent in later MOTs, but corrosion and suspension defects persisted. The 2026-04-30 report reiterates corrosion and suspension wear, indicating these problems are not being fully resolved.
