2009 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AD09 XFU

The 2009 Ford Transit presents a stable and highly reassuring maintenance trend, evidenced by consecutive passes with zero defects across its recent MOT history. The most recent test on 3 June 2025 at 116,749 miles recorded no advisories or failures, indicating the vehicle currently meets all structural and mechanical safety standards. This consistent pass rate suggests the previous owner maintained the van to a high standard, addressing any wear items promptly before they escalated into failures. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with typical commercial use for a vehicle of this age. Between the test on 24 June 2023 at 92,508 miles and the test on 14 June 2024 at 103,494 miles, the van covered 10,986 miles. However, the interval between the June 2024 test and the June 2025 test shows a notable reduction in usage, accumulating only 13,255 miles over that twelve-month period. This recent drop in annual mileage might indicate lighter duties or a change in operational use, but it does not detract from the vehicle's overall mechanical compliance. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential for a commercial vehicle of this age and mileage. While the tester flagged no corrosion or structural integrity issues, a buyer should closely examine the chassis and outracks for surface rust, which commonly affects older Transits even if it hasn't yet penetrated the load-bearing structure. Suspension bushes and coil springs require scrutiny for perishing, as high mileage can cause deterioration that doesn't always trigger an immediate MOT failure. Inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, and check the exhaust system for leaks, as these high-wear components often require replacement between tests on hard-working vans.
