2009 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · NJ09 VGT

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on December 5, 2025 at 154,640 miles with no defects recorded. This indicates that the previous mechanical or structural issues have been addressed and rectified. While the history shows instances of failure, the most recent consecutive clean passes suggest the vehicle is currently being maintained to a standard that meets the minimum legal roadworthiness requirements without immediate required repairs. At 17 years old with 154,640 miles, the Transit averages approximately 9,100 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent use over time, with 4,000 miles covered between July 2023 and August 2024, and another 7,000 miles between August 2024 and December 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is in regular use rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for keeping seals lubricated and preventing components from premature seizing. The recorded failures in July 2023 and August 2024 occurred just days before the scheduled test dates, indicating that the owner was proactive in addressing faults discovered during the inspection process. Because the specific reasons for these failures are not detailed in the summary, a buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of common Transit weak points. Focus specifically on structural corrosion around the chassis side members and spring mounting points. Pay close attention to the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake lines, as these are the primary areas of failure on high-mileage vans of this era.
