2009 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · GV58 UBA

The vehicle presents a concerning structural and mechanical profile despite its low annual mileage. While it passed its most recent test in February 2026 at 60,207 miles, this followed a significant failure just three days prior. The February 2026 failure revealed critical structural defects, specifically the offside rear integral body structure and the offside front seat belt anchorage suffering from advanced corrosion. This indicates a worsening trend in structural integrity that has progressed from an advisory to a major safety failure. The recorded mileage of 60,207 miles over 17 years reflects an exceptionally low average usage rate of approximately 3,500 miles per year. This low mileage often correlates with age-related degradation rather than mechanical wear-and-tear. Between January 2024 and February 2026, the vehicle covered only 6,096 miles, yet it saw multiple failures related to corroded lines and structural rot. This pattern suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for long periods, allowing corrosion to take hold on the chassis and brake-related hardware. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the sills and suspension mounting points. The history shows recurring corrosion issues on the nearside front suspension arm bushes and rear mounting areas, which have been flagged since at least 2025. Furthermore, the 2024 failure for excessively corroded brake pipes across three corners indicates that the hydraulic system is vulnerable to environmental damage. The recent pitting and scoring on the brake discs further confirm that the low mileage has not prevented the components from oxidizing due to lack of use.
