2009 Ford Transit 2.3L Diesel · FJ59 OSV

The 2009 Ford Transit presents a current roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 9 June 2025 at 286,606 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent pass came on the same day as a failure logged at identical mileage with no defects recorded, mirroring an earlier pattern from 18 May 2023 when a failure at 221,062 miles was followed by a pass on the same date with no defects noted. This duplicate failure-and-pass behaviour suggests administrative re-tests rather than mechanical rectification, and no advisories or defects appear across any entry from 2023 to 2025. The recorded mileage shows consistent high use for a 17-year-old vehicle. The test on 18 May 2023 captured 221,062 miles, rising to 253,828 miles by 22 May 2024, then 286,606 miles by 9 June 2025. That equates to roughly 32,000 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests and a further 32,000 by 2025, well above the implied annual average of 16,859 and confirming sustained commercial-grade operation. No standing periods or gaps appear in the annual test cadence. Given the clean record with zero advisories on brakes, suspension bushes, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions, the DVSA data alone shows no escalating wear items. The absence of flagged structural integrity issues or binding calipers implies previous operators kept the van to a passable standard at each test. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of brake discs, subframe corrosion, and drivetrain condition, as a high-mileage Transit at 286,606 miles will carry concealed fatigue not visible in a defect-free MOT summary. The repeated same-day fail-pass pairs with no defects recorded point to clerical test errors or system retries rather than owner neglect. The sparse but clean history offers limited insight into consumable replacement cycles for tyres or wiper blades. Verify service invoices in person before purchase to confirm interval upkeep on a vehicle with this annual mileage load.
