Our Verdict
A potentially solid option for those needing a workhorse, provided the high mileage is acceptable. The recent MOT history shows a consistent ability to pass without defects, which is notable for a vehicle of this age.
When inspecting this specific 2007 Transit, your primary focus should be on the high mileage. While the MOT records from 2022 to 2025 show no recorded defects, you should verify if the high usage has been supported by regular mechanical servicing, as MOTs only test safety and emissions, not overall mechanical health.
Negotiate based on the 193,268-mile reading. Check for signs of heavy load usage, such as suspension wear or interior damage to the load area. Given the age and mileage, ask for evidence of any major component replacements, such as the clutch, timing belt, or turbocharger, which are common maintenance items for this engine size.
Running costs for this 2198cc diesel Transit will be driven largely by its heavy-duty nature and high annual mileage. Fuel economy will depend on load weight and driving style, but as a diesel commercial vehicle, it is designed for efficiency under load.
Insurance groups for 2007 Transits vary depending on usage (private vs. commercial), and tax bands will be determined by the specific CO2 emissions of this 2.2L engine. Expect maintenance costs to be higher than a standard car due to the wear and tear associated with a vehicle that has covered nearly 200,000 miles.
Despite the clean MOT record for the last four years, you must inspect the vehicle for common Ford Transit issues. Cross-reference your inspection with the model's aggregate failure data, specifically looking for signs of corrosion on the chassis and bodywork, as well as the condition of the headlamps and tyres.
Pay close attention to the underside of the blue bodywork for any signs of structural rust that might not have triggered an MOT failure yet. Additionally, check the braking system and suspension components, as these are critical areas for high-mileage commercial vehicles.
This 2007 blue Ford Transit features a 2.2L diesel engine and has covered 193,268 miles as of its last MOT in February 2025. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 8,935 miles per year, the vehicle has secured four consecutive MOT passes without recorded defects since 2022. This suggests a period of consistent operational compliance, though the high usage remains a primary factor for consideration.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 74.4% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being headlamps, corrosion, and tyres.
