2009 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · EX59 OMS

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent inspection on 22 October 2025 at 187,182 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reveals a pattern of immediate re-testing just days after an initial failure. In both 2024 and 2025, the vehicle failed the MOT but subsequently passed within a nine-day window, suggesting that the previous owner addresses urgent mechanical defects only when prompted by a formal test failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At seventeen years of age, the recorded mileage of 187,182 represents an average usage of approximately 11,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical commercial cycles for a Ford Transit. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 2,400 miles covered between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 2,408 miles covered between October 2024 and October 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is not prone from long periods of standing but places consistent strain on drivetrain components and suspension bushings. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the recent failures, as the record does not explicitly list the reasons for the initial declines. Given the high mileage and age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the structural integrity along the sills and subframes is essential to identify hidden corrosion common in Transit models of this era. Inspect the braking system for binding calipers and examine the suspension arms to ensure that the recent passes were not merely masking underlying mechanical wear that is likely to recur.
