2009 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · SB58 USN

This 2009 Ford Transit presents a stable and reassuring roadworthiness profile based on the available DVSA MOT records. The most recent test, conducted on 23 May 2025, passed with zero defects recorded, a clean bill of health that has been the consistent pattern for the past three years. The maintenance trend is demonstrably stable and improving, as the vehicle has passed its last three MOTs without a single advisory or failure point. This indicates a diligent approach to preventative upkeep, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues flagged by the testing regime. The mileage data provided is insufficient to establish a definitive annual accumulation rate or to cross-reference the recorded mileages against the vehicle's age. The test dates show a consistent annual cycle, with tests clustered around April and May each year. A notable pattern exists in the records for 2024 and 2025, where a failure was recorded on the 21st of May and the 18th of April respectively, only for a pass to follow shortly after on the 23rd of May and the 16th of May. This strongly suggests minor, easily rectified issues were addressed promptly between the two tests, pointing to an owner responsive to rectification requirements. Despite the clean recent history, a prudent buyer must conduct a thorough in-person inspection, focusing on areas common to high-mileage commercial vehicles of this age. A close examination of the chassis and load-bearing points for corrosion is essential, as structural integrity can degrade without triggering an MOT failure until advanced. The braking and suspension systems, particularly the rear brakes and suspension bushes, should be inspected for wear, given the vehicle's likely working life. The complete absence of advisories is positive, but a test drive under load remains the only way to verify the condition of the drivetrain, gearbox, and clutch under real-world stress.
