2009 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AF59 HTL

The 2009 Ford Transit presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 13 November 2025 at 167,758 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 20 November 2024 at 165,162 miles confirms no outstanding advisories across the last two cycles. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults in the official record. Recorded mileage sits at 167,758 against an approximate 17-year lifespan, equating to roughly 9,868 miles per year which is typical for a light commercial van of this age. The DVSA data charts a steady climb: 151,007 miles on 10 November 2022, 158,571 on 15 November 2023, 165,162 on 20 November 2024, and 167,758 on 13 November 2025. Annual accumulation averaged near 8,000 miles with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps, indicating consistent service use rather than neglect or long standing periods. The history is sparse and clean, with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. A single anomaly appears on 20 November 2024 where the tester issued a fail at 165,162 miles yet logged no defects; the same-day pass suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Previous keepers maintained the test schedule without lapsing. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underside rust given the van's age and 167,758 miles, as MOT passes without advisories do not capture incipient corrosion or worn suspension components below failure thresholds. Verify the brake calipers and tyre condition visually, and confirm the 2024 fail-with-no-defects entry was purely clerical before purchase.
