Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to the exceptionally high mileage. While the recent MOT history shows no defects, the vehicle's age and usage profile suggest significant upcoming maintenance requirements.
Given that this vehicle has covered nearly 300,000 miles, your primary focus should be on mechanical longevity rather than cosmetic condition. Ask for evidence of major component replacements, such as the turbocharger, fuel injectors, or clutch, as these are common wear items on high-mileage Transit models.
Negotiate based on the mileage; while the recent MOTs are clean, the high usage suggests that parts like suspension components and seals may be nearing the end of their service life. Ensure you verify the service intervals, as the MOT history alone does not confirm whether regular oil changes have occurred.
Running costs for this 2402cc diesel Transit will be influenced heavily by its commercial usage. Expect higher-than-average fuel consumption if used for heavy loads, and insurance groups for older Transits can vary depending on the driver's profile and intended use.
Maintenance costs are likely to be frequent due to the high mileage. While the engine is a known workhorse, budget for regular replacements of consumables like tyres, brakes, and suspension parts. The estimated annual running cost is heavily dependent on annual mileage, but should account for significant wear-and-tear maintenance.
Inspect the chassis and underside thoroughly for signs of corrosion, which is a top failure reason for this model across our aggregate data. Even though no corrosion was noted in the recent MOTs, the age of this 2007 vehicle makes this a vital check.
Pay close attention to the lighting systems, specifically the headlamps, as this is a common failure point for the Transit. Additionally, check the condition of the tyres and brake components, as these are frequently cited in MOT failures for this model type. Given the 293,157 recorded miles, listen for unusual engine noise or vibrations that could indicate internal wear.
This 2007 Ford Transit (YP57DSU) is a high-mileage diesel workhorse, having covered 293,157 miles as of its last MOT in December 2025. While the most recent tests in 2024 and 2025 recorded no defects, the vehicle has travelled significantly more than the model average of 8,935 miles per year. The white 2.4L diesel variant shows a history of passing tests, but the sheer distance covered is the primary factor to consider.
Across 731,994 analysed vehicles, this model shows a 74.4% average MOT pass rate, with common failures relating to headlamps, corrosion, and tyres.
