2009 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AJ59 BNF

The 2009 Ford Transit presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 16 May 2025 at 152,233 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. The vehicle cleared every annual examination from 2023 through 2025 without any advisories or noted wear, indicating the previous keeper addressed requirements before each deadline. Recorded mileage rose from 135,316 at the May 2023 failure to 145,997 by May 2024 and 152,233 by May 2025, an average annual gain near 8,500 miles that matches typical light commercial use for a 17 year old van. The DVSA log shows no missing years and no sudden accumulation spikes. Two failed tests on 4 May 2023 and 8 May 2024 carry identical mileages to the passes one day later, with no defects listed either time; this pattern suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing centre rather than mechanical faults, though it leaves the buyer unable to verify any rectification work. Given the clean advisory history, no recurring suspension bushes, coil spring, brake disc, or corrosion problems appear in the official record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity beneath the chassis and wheel arches, as Transit bodies of this era suffer hidden rust that MOT testers may miss on a brief lift. Verify the brake calipers do not bind and check exhaust emissions against current limits during a cold start. The absence of recorded defects across three consecutive passes implies basic upkeep was maintained, but the twin same week fail pass pairs warrant confirmation the correct vehicle and documentation were used. Treat the 152,233 mile odometer as genuine against the yearly increments, and budget for consumable tyres and wiper blades as normal for age rather than as deferred faults.
