2009 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · CV58 AEY

The 2009 Ford Transit’s most recent MOT on 2025-01-13 at 97,825 miles resulted in a failure, though no defects were recorded. This follows a 2023-11-09 pass at 80,371 miles and a prior failure on 2023-11-02 at 80,242 miles, both with no defects. The pattern suggests inconsistent testing outcomes without technical explanations, raising concerns about potential unresolved issues. The vehicle’s roadworthiness remains uncertain, as the latest failure lacks diagnostic detail, and no major faults were flagged in earlier tests. Mileage progression shows a low annual average of 5,754 miles over 17 years, with a sharp increase from 66,304 miles (2021-10-21) to 97,825 miles (2025-01-13), adding 31,521 miles in 3 years. This acceleration may indicate recent heavier use, potentially stressing components like the drivetrain, suspension, and brakes. The absence of defects in multiple tests contrasts with the failure, suggesting either minor oversights or incomplete assessments. Buyers should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage often correlates with prolonged inactivity. Check brake components for corrosion or binding, given the vehicle’s age, and assess structural integrity for rust, particularly in body panels. The lack of recorded defects does not eliminate risks, as the latest failure implies unaddressed issues. A pre-purchase inspection should prioritise these areas to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical soundness.
