2009 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · FN09 CXK

The 2009 Ford Transit presents a currently roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 15 December 2025 at 184,368 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable on paper, though the test history shows a recurring pattern of initial failures followed by rapid passes. This suggests last-minute rectification rather than ongoing neglect, with no advisories or mechanical faults carried between tests. Recorded mileage rose from 154,245 in December 2023 to 172,606 by December 2024, then to 184,368 by December 2025, averaging roughly 10,800 miles per year across the period. The annual accumulation is consistent with typical light commercial use for a 17-year-old van. The DVSA data is sparse, with only three pass results and two linked failures, and no advisories logged at any stage to indicate wear on consumables or structure. The two failures on 2 December 2024 at 172,247 miles and 8 December 2025 at 184,351 miles recorded no defects, meaning the van was turned away for administrative or unlogged reasons before clearing days later. A buyer should still inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and chassis corrosion in person, as the clean record offers no visibility of underlying fatigue at this mileage. Given the age and 184,368 miles, previous owners likely addressed compliance narrowly to pass each December test. Verify service history and check for structural rust around sills and subframes before purchase, since MOT silence at this age does not confirm mechanical soundness.
