2007 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · SP07 AEX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection data. The final test conducted on 6 May 2022 at 143,137 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating the vehicle met all legal standards at that time. This followed a mysterious failure just three days prior at the same mileage, which suggests a specific issue was rectified immediately to satisfy the re-test rather than a pattern of recurring mechanical failure. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 19-year-old commercial vehicle averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. There is a notable three-year gap in records between the April 2017 test at 107,818 miles and the May 2020 test at 117,247 miles, suggesting a period of lower usage or potentiallyterm storage. Since 2020, the vehicle has covered roughly 26,000 miles over two years, representing a steady rate of operation that does not typically subject the drivetrain or suspension components to the excessive wear associated with high-intensity commercial use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and bodywork, as the age of the Transit makes it susceptible to corrosion despite the relatively low mileage. While the history shows no recorded advisories, the passage of time means rubber bushes and hoses should be checked for cracking or perished. Given the last recorded MOT was over four years ago, a thorough check of fluid levels, brake condition, and tyre age is essential to ensure no significant degradation has occurred since the 2022 clearance.
