2008 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · YP58 XMU

The vehicle presents a remarkably stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent record of clean MOT passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 12 March 2026 at 209,762 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance and that the previous owners have addressed potential mechanical or structural issues before they resulted in test failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent relative to the vehicle's 18-year age, averaging approximately 11,650 miles per annum. Data shows a steady usage pattern, such as the 8,000 miles driven between January 2022 and January 2023, followed by a 10,000-mile interval leading to the January 2024 test. The slight drop to 7,874 miles recorded between 2024 and 2025 and the more recent 1,551-mile interval between February 2025 and March 2026 indicate the vehicle remains in active, regular use rather than suffering from long periods of inactivity. Despite the clean digital history, the high-mileage nature of this 2008 Ford Transit necessitates a physical inspection of components prone to accelerated wear. A buyer should specifically examine the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the arches and mounting members which are common failure points on this generation. Given the 200,000-mile milestone, the condition of suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and brake lines should be verified to ensure there is no excessive play or degradation beyond what is expected.
