FORD TRANSIT2010 · 2.2L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a maintenance trend that shows significant improvement following a major mechanical intervention. The most recent test in November 2025 at 223,520 miles passed with no advisories, indicating that the critical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. The transition from a comprehensive failure in 2022 to consecutive passes thereafter suggests a proactive approach to repairs by the most recent owner. The mileage profile reflects high annual usage, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per year over its 16-year life. Data shows consistent use, with the vehicle covering roughly 6,000 miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests, and another 8,000 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests before reaching the current 2025 figure. This steady accumulation suggests the van has been used for commercial or heavy-duty purposes, which typically accelerates the wear on the chassis and drivetrain components. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the brake system and chassis structural integrity. The failure in November 2022 revealed extensive corrosion across all four brake pipe runs, which were further masked by grease or material. While the recent records note the underside is heavily undersealed, this can often hide active structural rust. You should inspect the sills, floor pans, and mounting points for bubbling paint to ensure the previous corrosion has not compromised the steel frame. Given the high mileage, also examine the suspension bushes and shock absorbers for signs of excessive play that the MOT tester may not flag.
