2009 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · DC08 TER

The 2009 Ford Transit presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 March 2025 at 173,444 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed clean. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available record, indicating consistent test compliance over the past three years. Recorded mileage rose from 141,299 at the February 2022 tests to 153,203 by April 2023, then 162,790 in April 2024, and 173,444 in March 2025. That equates to roughly 10,200 miles per year, which sits within typical use for a 17 year old light commercial vehicle. The DVSA entry shows two tests logged on 23 February 2022 at identical mileage: one failure and one pass, both with no defects recorded, a clerical or administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical concern. Beyond that, the history is sparse and clean with no gaps exceeding thirteen months. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on the chassis and sills, as the MOT record does not capture gradual rust progression between tests. At 173,444 miles the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs will carry commensurate wear even though no advisories were raised. Drivetrain components such as the clutch and turbo on this Transit variant warrant hands-on checks for oil leakage and play. The absence of flagged defects across five tests suggests previous owners kept the van to minimum legal standard rather than neglecting it. Verify service history independently and confirm the February 2022 failure was system-generated, not a concealed fault.
