2007 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · VT07 AEG

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 17 October 2024 at 190,798 miles. This result followed a pattern of immediate re-tests where the vehicle failed just five days prior in both 2023 and 2024. This trend suggests the previous owners were proactive in addressing minor defects or adjusting lighting items immediately to ensure compliance, rather than allowing mechanical or structural issues to persist or worsen over the recorded period. At 190,798 miles over 19 years, the Ford Transit has averaged approximately 10,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage intervals, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between May 2022 and July 2023, and another 2,500 miles covered in the following fifteen months. This regularity indicates the vehicle was used regularly, which helps prevent seal drying and component degradation associated with long periods of standing. Given the current date of June 2026, the vehicle is now eight months overdue for its annual test, necessitating an immediate inspection to ensure no new defects have developed since the last record. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis members, as these are common failure points on Transits of this era despite a clean MOT history. They should also evaluate the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components, which endure significant wear at nearly 200,000 miles. Checking for signs of oil leaks or coolant fluid loss is also vital, as the MOT record does not provide data on the internal health of the engine or drivetrain.
