2009 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AF09 VJG

The 2009 Ford Transit presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 31 October 2022 at 224,082 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, matching the prior clean pass on 19 October 2021 at 213,757 miles. The maintenance record shows no advisories or failures across both entries, indicating the vehicle cleared its annual inspections without flagged mechanical or structural concerns during that window. Mileage stands at 224,082 against a 17 year lifespan, an average of roughly 13,181 miles per year. The gap between the two tests shows 10,325 miles added in twelve months, consistent with typical light commercial use. The record stops at October 2022, leaving a near four year void before today's date of 8 July 2026, so no verified condition data exists for the intervening period. Given the clean MOT history, the buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear accelerated by high total mileage. Structural integrity around chassis rails and sills warrants checks for corrosion, as Transit vans of this age commonly suffer unseen rust despite passing tests. The absence of recorded advisories suggests previous owners kept the van to minimum test standards, but the stale record means current tyre condition, exhaust emissions, and binding calipers are unverified. A fresh test or independent mechanical assessment is essential before purchase.
