2009 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · EA59 AET

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent MOT test on 13 January 2026 at 44,743 miles. This follows a period of clean passes over the previous three years, indicating that mechanical and safety components have met minimum legal standards. The trend suggests the vehicle has been maintained sufficiently to avoid major failures or recurring structural defects during the latest inspection cycles. The mileage profile is notably low for a 17-year-old commercial, averaging approximately 2,600 miles per year. However, the data shows a significant inconsistency in usage. Between January 2024 at 39,220 miles and January 2025 at 49,921 miles, the vehicle covered over 10,000 miles in a single year, which contrasts sharply with the historical average. The current recorded mileage of 44,743 miles in 2026 suggests either a discrepancy in the record or a significant period of non-use following that peak period. A physical inspection should focus on the effects of low-mileage operation and intermittent use. The 2022 test at 34,059 miles flagged a nearside rear tyre protruding beyond the wheel arch, which indicates an incorrect tyre fitment or modified component at that time. Because the vehicle likely sat for long periods, a buyer must check for rubber degradation, specifically perished suspension bushes and seized brake calipers, which often occur on low-use vehicles. Additionally, examine the chassis for structural corrosion, as high-age Ford Transits are prone to rust regardless of the total miles driven.
