2009 Ford Transit 100 T350M RWD 2.4L Heavy oil · OF07 SAW

The 2009 Ford Transit 100 T350M rear-wheel-drive currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a successful pass on the sixth of August 2026 with no recorded defects. Reviewing the recent DVSA test history reveals a remarkably clean inspection record spanning the last three years, including consecutive clean passes in July 2025 and August 2024, despite a procedural same-day retest failure in August 2024 that was immediately rectified without noted faults. This maintenance and testing trend indicates that the vehicle has been consistently presented in a roadworthy condition and shows no systemic mechanical deterioration or chronic neglect in areas monitored by the statutory test. With an odometer reading of 90,748 miles accrued over approximately seventeen years, the vehicle averages a relatively low 5,338 miles per annum. This modest annual mileage profile suggests lighter commercial deployment or intermittent use, which can occasionally lead to issues associated with prolonged periods of standing rather than high-mileage fatigue. While the drivetrain and major mechanical assemblies have avoided the heavy wear typically seen on high-mileage commercial workhorses, a low-use commercial vehicle requires careful verification of its working history to ensure it has not suffered from infrequent maintenance cycles or rust accumulation from sitting idle. Given the age and lower mileage profile of this Transit, prospective buyers should conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on age-related deterioration and the effects of standing. Inspect the tyre sidewalls closely for micro-cracking, perishing, or flat spots caused by long periods of inactivity, and verify the DOT manufacturing dates to ensure the rubber has not hardened beyond safe operational limits. Furthermore, examine the brake discs and calipers for heavy surface corrosion, pitting, or binding from sitting, which can manifest as a rust-grinding sensation, steering pull, or uneven braking performance during your initial test drive. Additional attention should be paid to the vehicle electrical systems, structural underpinnings, and fluid integrity. The twelve-volt battery should be checked for cranking health and charge retention, as low-mileage commercial vehicles frequently suffer from parasitic drains or sulfated batteries due to short trips or extended stationary periods. Inspect the chassis rails, sills, and suspension mounting points for structural corrosion, and verify that routine calendar-based fluid servicing, including engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid changes, has been maintained regardless of the low mileage accumulation to prevent premature internal component wear.
