2008 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · YL08 XOK

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test in June 2025 at 156,099 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner demonstrates a proactive approach to addressing issues following failures. While the record shows immediate failures in both 2024 and 2025, the subsequent passes within a few days indicate that identified mechanical or safety defects are being rectified promptly rather than allowed to persist or escalate through neglect. At a recorded mileage of 156,099 miles, this 18-year-old Transit reflects an average usage of approximately 8,700 miles per year. This figure is consistent with typical commercial use for the age, suggesting the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive annual mileage. The interval between the April 2023 test at 148,249 miles and the May 2024 test at 153,673 miles shows a steady accumulation of miles, indicating a regular operation pattern which generally helps prevent the premature degradation of drivetrain seals and suspension components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as Transits of this era are prone to corrosion in the sills and suspension mounting points. Although the recent passes show no recorded defects, the recurring failures just before passing suggest that components such as light bulbs or minor adjustments may be reaching the end of their functional life. Inspect the brake discs for signs of thinning and check the condition of the suspension bushes to ensure that the recent repairs have addressed the underlying mechanical wear associated with high-mileage commercial vehicles.
