2006 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · OY55 TOH

As a 2.4L diesel, expect moderate fuel economy suitable for heavy-duty work, though it will be less efficient than modern Euro 6 equivalents. Tax and insurance groups for a 2006 Transit vary depending on payload and specific engine tuning, but it generally sits in a mid-range bracket for commercial vehicles.

Maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age and mileage can be unpredictable. While parts for Fords are widely available and relatively affordable, you should budget for more frequent replacement of consumables like tyres, brakes, and suspension components. Estimated annual running costs are typically higher than a passenger car due to the heavy-duty nature of the components.

Pay close attention to the exterior mirrors; the MOT history for this specific vehicle shows repeated advisories for a 'slightly damaged' offside obligatory mirror in 2021 and 2022. Ensure the replacement or repair is secure and meets legal standards.

Beyond the mirror issue, inspect the vehicle for corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and sills, as this is a frequent failure point for this model aggregate. Additionally, check the condition of the tyres and headlamps, as these are listed as top failure reasons for the Transit model in our aggregate data. Finally, test the diesel engine's performance under load to check for excessive smoke or loss of power.
