[skyehigh]

Hi all,just wondered if any one can answer a question for me,i have the chance of a (mwb) transit with a 105,000 miles on it, its an 04.What id like to know is.is this a big milage to a transit with full service history or is it nothing to bother about,is there any thing that i should look uot for when test driving the van.

what sort of milage can a transit engine do if looked after.

Many thanks to anyone that can help.

Do you have anymore details on the engine, ie. is it a 2.0 or 2.4 litre and also the output.

you bin sniff poppers!!!!!!!!

was only asking for some advice,got a nissan navara with FSH and the engine blow up at 62000 miles,then found the owners website only to find out that is the life of these engines hence the quistion about the tranny engine.

my transit did 286k before a faliure,you should get between250-300k from a transit,but still you should get more than that from a japanise engine,is it isuzu?they recon you should get a million miles out a isuzu motor!!,i know of some one who had a toyota hiace that did 405k before he sold it..look through auto trader fpr saab 900 tubos,there average milage is over 200k,modern engines should do over 200k.

you would think that with what you pay for these vans that 400000 kms would be common place if you look at toyota deisels etc this is nothing

200k nissan navara d22s self destructing at 60k like he says with no warranty claim for most owners!

If its of any use to you mine has 275000km or 170000miles still feels good and solid, starts right away every time only snag I have is a dust factor seems ford aint got a clue what it means to seal interior from exterior but Im sorting that one out....
oh and those crappy rear doors that let water in when you hose it
