2009 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · AE59 GLJ

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state based on the most recent MOT pass on 17 February 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the record shows a consistent pattern of passing tests without any recorded defects or advisories. The absence of flagged issues across multiple years suggests a vehicle that has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards. The mileage is typical for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 10,176 miles per year. Between the January 2023 test at 154,449 miles and the February 2025 test at 172,984 miles, the vehicle covered 18,535 miles. This steady accumulation indicates regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which generally helps prevent seals from perishing and prevents brake calipers from seizing. The MOT history is unusually clean for a Transit of this age, with no recorded advisories for corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake wear. While the record shows failures on 11 January 2024 and 3 February 2025, the lack of listed defects suggests these may have been administrative or minor issues resolved immediately. A buyer should still physically inspect the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust, as the DVSA record does not always capture early-stage corrosion that has not yet become a failure point. Given the high mileage of 172,984, a manual check of the drivetrain and suspension components is necessary. The absence of recorded faults in the MOT history does not guarantee the health of the clutch, turbocharger, or timing belt. Focus the physical inspection on these high-wear items and check for any oil leaks that a standard MOT test might overlook.
