2009 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CY09 HLA

The Ford Transit passed its most recent MOT on 5 January 2022 at 178,718 miles with no defects recorded, leaving the maintenance trend neither improving nor worsening but simply static due to the absence of any prior or subsequent test data. The single clean pass gives no evidence of recurring faults, though the four-and-a-half-year gap to today's date means the vehicle has run untested under current DVSA rules and its present roadworthiness cannot be confirmed from the record alone. At roughly 10,513 miles per year across its seventeen years, the 178,718 recorded miles sit close to typical use for a 2009 light commercial vehicle, suggesting steady service rather than prolonged standing or excessive fleet accumulation. The record shows only one entry, so we cannot track annual mileage jumps or drops; the lone 2022 figure provides no basis to judge wear rate beyond that single point in time. A buyer should commission a fresh MOT and independent inspection before purchase, prioritising structural corrosion on chassis rails and sills, suspension bush condition, and brake disc wear given the age and untested interval. The clean 2022 sheet means no advisories were carried forward, but the Transit's long idle from official testing leaves tyres, exhaust emissions, and drivetrain seals exposed to unseen degradation. Previous keeper behaviour appears compliant at the last test, yet the failure to present the van for MOT since January 2022 implies either SORN storage or unlicensed road use, both of which demand verification of continuous care and proof of mileage authenticity.
