2007 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · TH57 BOY

The 2007 Ford Transit demonstrates a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 25 September 2025 at 245,268 miles. This most recent test result sits nearly eleven months prior to today, meaning the vehicle will require a fresh test shortly to maintain legal roadworthiness. The historical record shows an unusually clean bill of health across multiple annual examinations, with tests on 17 August 2022, 25 August 2023, and 23 August 2024 all resulting in passes without any recorded advisories or defects. A single failure on 23 August 2024 was immediately rectified on the same day, resulting in a successful pass, which suggests proactive rectification by the keeper. Accumulating 245,268 miles over its nineteen-year lifespan translates to an average of roughly 12,909 miles annually, indicating heavy commercial use typical of a working van. The complete absence of advisory notes across four consecutive years of testing is highly atypical for a high-mileage commercial vehicle of this age. This cleanliness implies either rigorous preventative maintenance by the previous owner or cosmetic masking of underlying wear items that standard MOT visual inspections might miss. Commercial vehicles of this vintage frequently suffer from chassis corrosion, load-floor fatigue, and excessive wear on steering and suspension joints due to heavy payloads. Buyers should conduct a rigorous physical inspection underneath the chassis, specifically checking the sills, subframes, and leaf spring mounting points for structural rust. Furthermore, the high mileage places strain on the drivetrain, clutch assembly, and turbocharger, meaning a mechanical test drive is essential to verify smooth power delivery and gear engagement independent of the clean MOT certificates.
