Our Verdict
Proceed with significant caution. This h
The primary concern for this specific Transit is the corrosion noted in the MOT history. You should carefully examine the outer sills and the underside of the chassis, as the MOT record explicitly mentions that the vehicle structure is corroded. Given that corrosion is one of the top failure reasons for this model across aggregate data, this is a critical area for negotiation or professional inspection.
Additionally, the brake discs were noted as worn, pitted, or scored on both the front and rear. Check if these have been replaced since April 2023; if not, this represents an immediate maintenance cost. Ensure you review any available service records to see how the high mileage of 189,222 has been managed, specifically regarding timing belt and water pump intervals.
Operating a 2.2L diesel Transit from 2009 involves costs typical of a heavy-duty utility vehicle. Fuel economy will be influenced by the high mileage and age of the engine, and insurance groups for these vans are generally moderate, though this varies by driver profile.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average due to the vehicle's age and the recorded wear on braking components and structural corrosion. Expect higher spending on rust prevention and suspension wear-and-tear items. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and essential maintenance, is approximately £1,200-£1,600.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the vehicle's underside and seat belt anchorage areas. The MOT history specifically flags corrosion in these areas and on the outer sills, which can lead to structural failure if left untreated. Use a torch to check for excessive scale or holes in the chassis.
Inspect the brake discs for the pitting and scoring mentioned in the April 2023 test. Furthermore, test all exterior lighting, including the nearside rear direction indicator and registration plate lamps, as these were specific failure points in the most recent MOT. Finally, check the windscreen washer system to ensure it provides sufficient liquid as previously failed.
This white 2009 Ford Transit with a 2.2L diesel engine has recorded 189,222 miles as of its last MOT in April 2023.

Notably, it passed with several advisories regarding underside and sill corrosion, which are known weak points for this model.
