2009 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · MW09 DCY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, passing its most recent MOT on 14 May 2025 with 51,222 miles and no recorded defects. While the history shows two failures immediately preceding successful passes, these appear to have been minor issues rectified quickly before the retests. The lack of advisories in the last two tests suggests that the vehicle is currently maintained to a passing standard and does not show immediate signs of progressive mechanical degradation or structural failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old Ford Transit, averaging approximately 3,013 miles per year. Between February 2023 at 47,426 miles and May 2025 at 51,222 miles, the vehicle covered only 3,796 miles in over two years. This low usage suggests the van has likely been used for short trips or sat for extended periods. However, such low mileage on a commercial vehicle of this age often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown, which are not always captured by a mileage-based inspection. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points, as low-mileage vans often hide surface corrosion that develops over time while stationary. Inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and rubber boots for cracking or perish, which occurs with infrequent use. Given the intermittent usage, verify the brake system for seized calipers or perished brake lines, and check the tyres for flat spots or spotting despite having sufficient tread depth.
