2009 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AD09 XBT

The 2009 Ford Transit presents a stable roadworthiness status with no active defects. The most recent test on 7 March 2026 at 91,894 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes since 2021. The maintenance trend is steady and shows no worsening mechanical faults across the recorded history. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a 17 year old commercial vehicle. The record shows 72,159 miles in July 2021 rising to 91,894 by March 2026, an average of roughly 3,900 miles per year across that span and about 5,400 miles per year overall. A notable gap exists between the March 2023 pass at 81,583 miles and the prior July 2021 entry, suggesting either a delayed test or a period of limited operation. The DVSA data itself is sparse but clean, with no flagged corrosion, brake, suspension, or emission concerns at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the chassis despite the clear MOT trail. Transits of this era commonly develop structural rust at sill and spring mount areas even when testers log no advisories. The low annual mileage implies the van may have stood unused for extended periods, raising the risk of seized brake calipers, degraded suspension bushes, and perished rubber components not visible in a static test. Verify the condition of brake discs, handbrake operation, and door hinge corrosion during a viewing. The absence of recorded faults points to a previous owner who kept the vehicle minimally compliant, though the sparse history leaves genuine in-person verification as the only reliable measure of true mechanical state.
