2009 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · YX59 ATF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status despite intermittent failures during the testing process. The most recent test on 5 June 2025 at 76,216 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just two days prior at the same mileage. This suggests that the owner is proactive in rectifying immediate issues to ensure compliance. Since the May 2024 test, the vehicle has maintained a clean inspection record over the last fourteen months. The mileage profile is notably low for a seventeen-year-old Transit, averaging approximately 4,483 miles per year. Between June 2023 and May 2024, the vehicle covered only 1,953 miles, indicating periods of infrequent use or long durations of inactivity. While low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid quality. The consistent low-mile growth suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy-duty commercial cycles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity, specifically checking the sills and suspension arches, as these areas are prone to corrosion when vehicles sit stationary. The recurring failures in June 2023 and June 2025 without recorded defect descriptions often indicate minor consumable issues such as light bulbs, wipers, or minor leaks that were addressed immediately. Inspect the brake lines for cracking and the suspension bushes for perishment, as the low-frequency usage does not prevent these components from seizing or deteriorating over time.
