Our Verdict
Exercise extreme caution. The vehicle ha
Focus heavily on the quality of the structural repairs carried out in early 2024. You should request detailed invoices for the welding of the sills and chassis to ensure the work was professionally completed rather than superficially patched to pass the MOT.
Given the age and mileage, check for a comprehensive service history, specifically looking for evidence of timing belt replacements and clutch wear. Negotiate the price based on the remaining advisories from the September 2024 test, particularly the corroded rear brake pipes and worn dust covers, which will require imminent attention.
The 2198cc diesel engine provides a balance of power and efficiency, but maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average due to the vehicle's age and mileage. Expect frequent expenditure on suspension components and brake system maintenance, as highlighted by the MOT history.
Annual costs will include commercial vehicle tax and insurance, which varies by usage. Given the recorded failure patterns, a budget for ongoing corrosion prevention and structural maintenance is essential for this specific vehicle.
Carefully inspect the inner sills and rear inner wheel arches, as these were critical failure points in April 2024. Check the areas where underseal was applied in 2022 (spring hanger area) to ensure the metal underneath is not continuing to deteriorate.
Specifically examine the rear brake pipes and the steering rack gaiter, both of which were noted as advisories in the most recent September 2024 test. Finally, check the operation of all position lamps and the engine management light, as these have caused previous MOT failures.
This white 2007 Ford Transit has covered 159,746 miles. Its MOT history reveals serious structural integrity issues, specifically corrosion to the inner sills and chassis mountings recorded in April 2024. While it passed its most recent test in September 2024, recurring advisories regarding corrosion and brake pipes suggest ongoing degradation.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 74.4%, with corrosion listed as one of the top three most common failure reasons.
