2009 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · CY09 AAJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its latest test in February 2026 at 68,576 miles, this followed a failure just three days prior due to critical safety issues including a leaking hydraulic brake pipe, worn brake pads, and a failing anti-roll bar linkage. The transition from a multi-point failure in early 2025 to a pass in 2026 suggests that repairs are only addressed when mandated by the tester. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 68,576 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. However, the data shows a significant gap in usage between February 2024 and March 2025, where the vehicle covered only 868 miles in over thirteen months, followed by a more rapid burst of 3,309 miles in the months leading to February 2026. This intermittent usage pattern often correlates with the structural corrosion noted on brake pipes and the degradation of rubber components, which are common in low-mileage vehicles that sit stationary. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension mounting points. The record repeatedly flags corrosion on the nearside front wing and brake pipes, alongside corroded coil springs and underside rust. The previous failure of the nearside front wheel bearing and track rod end in 2025 indicates that the front-end suspension is reaching the end of its functional life. Particular attention should also be paid to the electronic management system, as the inoperative OBD port and engine malfunction light reported in 2025 suggest underlying faults that may be difficult to diagnose without professional equipment.
