2006 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · WO06 LCG

The 2006 Ford Transit presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at its most recent test on 26 February 2024 at 136,521 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. Prior examinations on 12 January 2022 at 128,263 miles and 11 January 2023 at 33,541 miles also returned passes with no advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening faults across the three-year record and no outstanding mechanical concerns from the official data. The mileage pattern is irregular for a 20-year-old van. Between January 2022 and January 2023 the recorded distance dropped from 128,263 to 33,541 miles, a reversal of 94,722 miles that indicates a likely odometer change, clerical error, or replacement cluster rather than genuine use. From the 2023 figure the van then accumulated 102,980 miles by February 2024, averaging over 8,500 miles per month in that single year. Against a typical 6,826 miles per annum for the age, the recent spike points to intensive commercial duty in the final recorded period. A buyer should physically verify the true mileage through service history, V5C, and wear on pedals, seat, and steering. With no advisories logged, the MOT gives no direct flag on suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion, but a Transit of this age and recent high use warrants close inspection of chassis rails, sills, and spring mounts for rust. Check the rear load floor and wheel arches for rot that a clean test bay might miss. Given the unexplained mileage swing and heavy 2023 to 2024 running, treat the van as a high-stress example. Confirm brake caliper operation and tyre dates on viewing, and budget for consumable renewal even though the record shows no failures.
