2009 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · FN58 AEY

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass on its most recent MOT on 24 March 2026 at 152,953 miles. This result follows a brief failure in April 2025, which was rectified immediately within nine days. Since the 2024 test, the vehicle has operated without recorded defects or advisories, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components are currently being maintained to a satisfactory operational standard. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a light-used commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year over its seventeen-year life. There is a notable gap in records between August 2022 and April 2024, during which only 400 miles were recorded. However, the vehicle has since returned to regular use, covering over 13,000 miles in the last two years. This recent accumulation indicates the van is not prone to sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the condition of seals, hydraulic components, and fuel-related rubber parts. Despite the clean history in recent tests, a buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and structural integrity. Given the age and nature of this Ford Transit, corrosion is a primary concern, particularly on the rear members, sills, and mounting points. The brief failure in April 2025 also highlights the need to inspect the braking system and suspension bushes for signs of premature wear or perished rubber, as these are often the first components to degrade on high-mileage vehicles despite a clean MOT pass.
