2007 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · OY57 WZP

The vehicle presents a generally stable roadworthiness status with a positive maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 11 December 2025 at 104,160 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a clean pass in October 2024, suggesting that the mechanical issues leading to the February 2024 failure were successfully rectified and have not recurred. The mileage data reveals inconsistent usage patterns over the vehicle's nineteen year life. While the recorded total of 104,160 miles averages to a low approximately 5,500 miles per year, the history shows a significant spike in activity. Between June 2020 and October 2021, the vehicle covered roughly 8,000 miles, yet it then clocked over 9,000 miles in the short eight months leading up to the February 2024 test. Interestingly, the discrepancy between the 128,446 miles recorded in October 2024 and the 104,160 miles recorded in December 2025 suggests a clerical error in the MOT history or a component replacement that requires physical verification. A buyer should prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and underbody, as older Transit models of this era are prone to corrosion in the sills and mounting points. Despite the low annual mileage, long periods of standing can lead to perished rubber components, suspension bushes, and seized brake calipers. Inspect the brake discs for signs of surface pitting and check the tyres for cracking to ensure the low mileage has not masked age-related degradation of consumables.
