2010 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · HG10 AEM

The 2010 Ford Transit’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-02 at 100,720 miles resulted in a pass, but multiple advisories highlight persistent issues. Corrosion on brake pipes, suspension mounting areas, and a damaged mirror were noted, alongside a front brake disc worn but not seriously weakened. These findings mirror recurring problems from prior tests, indicating a maintenance trend that remains stable but unresolved. The vehicle’s failure on 2025-10-01 at the same mileage suggests recent corrective actions, likely addressing tyre tread and brake component corrosion, though underlying concerns persist. Mileage progression shows consistent usage, with 82,500 miles in 2023, rising to 91,602 by 2024, and 100,720 in 2025—approximately 6,295 miles annually. This aligns with typical usage for the vehicle’s age, though the 2023-2024 period saw a 9,100-mile jump, potentially reflecting increased demand or longer operating hours. No significant gaps in testing are evident, and the absence of major structural failures or emissions issues in recent records suggests the vehicle has been maintained to basic standards. However, repeated corrosion and wear advisories imply limited proactive care. Key areas requiring in-person inspection include the suspension system, particularly the nearside and offside anti-roll bar linkages, which have shown play and wear since 2024. Brake components—discs, pads, and pipes—exhibit recurring corrosion and wear, necessitating a thorough check for integrity and functionality. Structural corrosion around suspension mounting points and brake pipe areas should be assessed for progression. Additionally, tyre condition and registration plate lamps, which have failed in prior tests, warrant verification to ensure compliance and safety.
