2009 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · SE03 ANE

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status based on the available data. The most recent test on 21 March 2025 resulted in a pass at 166,891 miles with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 9,817 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between January 2023 and February 2024, where the odometer rose from 139,014 to 152,167 miles. More recently, the vehicle covered 14,724 miles between February 2024 and March 2025. This steady accumulation indicates the van has remained in active service without prolonged periods of standing. The MOT history is unusually clean for a 2009 Transit, showing no advisories or failures across several years. This suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance or a very light duty cycle. However, the absence of flagged wear on consumables like brake discs, suspension bushes, or tyres over 44,000 miles of recorded testing is atypical for a commercial vehicle of this vintage. A physical inspection should focus on structural integrity and corrosion, particularly on the chassis and sills, as these often develop regardless of MOT outcomes. Check for oil leaks around the engine and gearbox and inspect the condition of the coil springs. Given the lack of recorded faults, verifying the service history for timing belt intervals and fluid changes is essential to confirm the mechanical health matches the clean MOT record.
