2009 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · E22 CBN

This 2009 Ford Transit currently stands in an unroadworthy state following a failed MOT test on 1 April 2026. The vehicle exhibits a volatile maintenance trend. It shows a pattern of consecutive first-time failures followed by immediate passes in its prior cycles, culminating in the unresolved failure of April 2026. Because the DVSA record lists no specific defects for the failures on 12 December 2023, 15 November 2024, and 1 April 2026, the data indicates a pattern of presenting the vehicle for testing in a substandard condition. The lack of detailed defect logs suggests administrative anomalies or rapid, off-the-record rectifications. Accumulating 159,812 miles over approximately 17 years represents a highly typical usage pattern of roughly 9,400 miles per year for a commercial vehicle of this class. The testing intervals show regular annual presentation up until the most recent failure in April 2026, with no major gaps in road use. This consistent mileage accumulation suggests the vehicle has seen steady, active service rather than prolonged periods of damp storage. Damp storage often accelerates component seizure. However, at this mileage, major mechanical components are inevitably approaching the end of their serviceable lifespans. Prospective buyers must approach this vehicle with caution due to the lack of detailed failure data in the official record. A physical inspection must prioritize the structural integrity of the chassis, inner sills, and suspension mounting points. Ford Transits of this era are highly susceptible to severe corrosion. The tester likely identified structural rust or emissions failures during those undocumented sessions, which required immediate welding or component replacement to secure the subsequent passes. Inspect the front suspension bushes, coil springs, and rear leaf springs for sagging or cracking. The braking system requires a thorough check for binding calipers and worn discs. A prolonged period of standing since the last failed test in April 2026 increases the risk of seized brake components and deteriorated tyre sidewalls.
