2008 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · RK08 XAD

The vehicle is currently in the 2026-06-18 test at 212,331 miles, falling within the typical 11,796 miles per year range for a 2008 Ford Transit. While the 2026-04-10 test passed, this was in the past, and the 2026-03-11 test failed, indicating a significant deterioration in roadworthiness over the last two years. The most recent test on 2026-06-18 shows the same faults as the 2026-03-11 test, suggesting the issues are not resolving but have been exacerbated by continued use. The maintenance trend is therefore not improving; rather, the vehicle is in a state of progressive degradation where the 2026-04-10 test result serves as a baseline for assessing current readiness. The mileage data reveals a pattern of rapid accumulation that correlates with the vehicle's age. The 2026-03-11 test at 212,265 miles was the most recent failure in the recorded history, occurring shortly after the 2026-04-10 test. The 2026-03-12 test at 199,291 miles also failed, indicating that the vehicle has not been maintained for a full year since the 2026-03-11 event. This rapid mileage increase suggests that the owner may have been driving the car lightly or that the vehicle has been sitting unused for extended periods, leading to accelerated wear on suspension components and drivetrain parts. The gap between the 2026-03-11 and 2026-04-10 tests, which occurred in approximately 11 days, underscores the lack of proactive maintenance required for a vehicle of this age. In terms of structural integrity, the vehicle has suffered multiple critical failures across the drivetrain, suspension, and braking system. The 2026-03-11 test flagged binding rear brakes, a worn pitted brake disc, and a severely deteriorated rear suspension arm ball joint. The 2025-03-12 test further confirms these issues, noting that the rear wheel bearing has slight play and the rear outer tyre has worn close to the legal limit. The 2026-06-18 test repeats the binding rear brakes and the worn brake disc, confirming that these structural risks are not resolved. The 2025-03-11 test also revealed a central rear prop shaft bearing excessively worn, which is a serious mechanical failure requiring immediate attention. The 2024-03-11 test shows the same rear wheel bearing play and the same worn brake disc, indicating a consistent pattern of wear that has not been corrected.
