2009 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · FN59 TPO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a history of clean passes over the last several years. The most recent MOT test conducted in March 2023 at 118,019 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the vehicle met all minimum legal standards at that time. This follows a period of consistent results in 2020 and 2022, suggesting a reliable level of basic mechanical upkeep. The mileage pattern indicates exceptionally low usage for a seventeen-year-old van, averaging approximately 6,900 miles per year. Between February 2021 and March 2023, the vehicle covered only 910 miles, moving from 117,109 to 118,019. This significant drop in activity suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for long periods or was used only for short-distance trips. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often increases the risk of degradation in rubber-based parts, seals, and fluids, which can perish due to age rather than use. While the record shows no mechanical failures, a buyer must physically inspect the chassis for structural integrity. Transit models of this era are prone to significant corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting points, which can accelerate if the vehicle is not driven regularly. The buyer should also check for signs of seized brake calipers or perished suspension bushes resulting from the long intervals of low use. Given that the last test was over three years ago, the vehicle is currently overdue for an annual MOT, and a fresh inspection is mandatory to identify any new defects or mechanical failures.
