2009 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · CV58 AGZ

The vehicle's current roadworthiness status appears stable following the most recent MOT pass on 24 September 2025 at 128,692 miles. The inspection history shows a pattern of re-testing to rectify failures, specifically seen in September 2025 and August 2024. While the vehicle has successfully passed its most recent tests, the presence of these failures suggests that minor defects are being identified and addressed shortly before the scheduled annual inspection. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,570 miles per year. The data shows a steady increase from 112,244 miles in July 2023 to 128,692 miles in September 2025. This represents a controlled usage pattern rather than excessive heavy-duty commercial use or long periods of stationary neglect. The lack of significant mileage jumps between tests indicates a predictable service life. Because the MOT record does not specify the exact nature of the failures in August and September of 2024 and 2025, a physical inspection is necessary to confirm what required rectification. You should focus on the underside of the chassis to check for structural corrosion, which is common on 17-year-old Transit models. Inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of wear or leakage. The buyer should also verify the condition of the braking system, specifically checking for unevenly worn discs or binding calipers. Given the age of the vehicle, examine the exhaust system for excessive corrosion and check the integrity of all rubber mounting components. While the recent clean MOT record is a positive indicator, these mechanical and structural areas require direct verification to ensure no underlying issues were overlooked during the re-test process.
