2009 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · WT56 OSS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by five consecutive MOT passes without failures. The most recent test conducted on 5 January 2026 at 236,242 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This consistency suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that ensures it meets minimum safety and emissions requirements without immediate mechanical failure despite the high age of the platform. The mileage profile reflects consistent high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 13,900 miles per year over its 17-year life. Between January 2024 and January 2026, the vehicle covered 42,140 miles, indicating a heavy workload during the last twenty-month period. There is a notable drop in usage between December 2021 and December 2022, where only 1,517 miles were recorded. Despite this gap, the overall accumulation confirms the vehicle has been used for heavy-duty applications which place significant stress on the drivetrain and structural suspension components. Given the high mileage and age of the vehicle, a physical inspection must prioritize the structural integrity of the chassis and load members, as the Ford Transit of this era is prone to corrosion in the sills and mounting points. The buyer should specifically check for signs of perished suspension bushes and worn control arms which often degrade at a quarter-million miles. While the MOT record is clean, the lack of advisories can sometimes indicate a superficial inspection by the tester, so a manual check of brake disc thickness and hydraulic fluid fluid leaks remains essential before purchase.
