2008 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · SP58 NBG

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance record. The most recent inspection conducted on 14 November 2025 at 82,343 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This clean result across the last five annual tests indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and does not suffer from the progressive mechanical failures common in older commercial vans. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old Transit, averaging approximately 4,575 miles per year. Between October 2021 and November 2024, the vehicle covered only 4,230 miles, suggesting long periods of very light use. The more recent interval between November 2024 and November 2025 shows only 825 miles driven, which confirms a trend of minimal annual operation. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and internal fluid seals. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must inspect the vehicle for issues associated with low-mileage, older vehicles. Focus should be placed on the condition of perishable suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake hoses, which may crack or perish from age rather than use. Given the age of the vehicle, check the chassis and structural members for any surface corrosion, as rust can develop regardless of how few miles the van has travelled. Ensure the brake discs are not pitted or pitted, as infrequent use often leads to surface oxidation and binding calipers.
