2009 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · FP09 TKF

The 2009 Ford Transit presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent test on 2023-08-31 at 223,232 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with no escalating mechanical faults or accumulating advisories. The vehicle cleared its final test cleanly after a failed attempt two days earlier on 2023-08-29 at identical mileage, where the tester logged no specific defects. Recorded mileage stands at 223,232 against an age of roughly 17 years, equating to about 13,131 miles annually which is high for a light commercial of this era. The gap between the 2021-06-23 pass at 210,684 miles and the 2022-09-05 fail at 221,426 miles shows around 10,742 miles added in just over fourteen months, a typical usage rate. A further 1,806 miles accrued by the 2023-08-29 failure, then no movement to the pass two days later, indicating the van was parked during rectification. The sparse record carries no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions throughout. The repeated failures on 2022-09-05 and 2023-08-29 with zero defects listed suggest administrative or presentation issues rather than hard mechanical rejection, though DVSA systems occasionally omit fault text. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity at chassis rails and sills for corrosion, check coil springs and suspension bushes for fatigue given the high mileage, and verify brake calipers are not binding after prolonged idle periods. Confirm the absence of outstanding advisories through a physical test-centre printout before purchase.
