2006 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · WA06 AZJ

A consistent record of roadworthiness is evident over the last six years, though a period of emerging wear in the front end was noted in 2025. This trend of deterioration in suspension and braking components was resolved prior to the clean pass recorded on 2026-04-09, suggesting that the vehicle's current mechanical state is stable following those corrections. The recorded mileage of 75,186 miles is notably low for a twenty year old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 3,759 miles per year. Such a low annual accumulation rate often indicates a life of light duty or extended periods of inactivity, which can contribute to the premature perishing of rubber components and the onset of surface corrosion on brake discs, as evidenced by the advisories recorded in 2025. Attention should be paid to the front suspension and braking systems, which were flagged for wear in 2025. While the latest test was clean, the previous advisories regarding cracking and perishing of the front suspension arm bushes and pitted brake discs are critical points of inspection. During a test drive, listen for knocking or clunking sounds when traversing uneven surfaces or during low-speed manoeuvres, as these are typical symptoms of worn suspension bushings. Further evaluation of the braking performance is necessary to ensure the previously pitted and scored discs have been replaced or refurbished. Feel for any judder or pulsation through the brake pedal during deceleration, which would indicate remaining disc irregularities. Additionally, check the inner edges of the front tyres for uneven wear, as the 2025 record noted slight wear on the nearside front inner edge, which may point to alignment issues or worn steering components.
