2010 FORD TRANSIT2.2L DIESEL

Today is 2026-06-15, meaning the most recent MOT test was conducted just over two months ago on 2025-04-28 at 163,868 miles. The vehicle passed this test, but several critical faults were noted as advisories. The tester flagged binding rear brakes and corroded brake pipes at the front and rear, all of which require immediate replacement to prevent brake failure. Additionally, the central stop lamp was inoperative, and the tyre condition showed minor perishing. The brake pipe corrosion and binding brakes indicate a maintenance trend that was failing in 2024 but has stabilised in 2025, though the advisories remain unresolved. The vehicle's age of 16 years with 163,868 miles translates to an average annual mileage of roughly 10,242 miles, which is typical for its age. The MOT history reveals a pattern of rapid deterioration in 2024, with multiple failures due to severe structural rust, worn suspension components, and fluid leaks. These issues suggest the previous owner allowed the vehicle to deteriorate before selling it. A potential buyer should conduct a thorough in-person inspection of the brake system, focusing on the corroded pipes and binding rear calipers. The structural integrity of the wheel arches must also be verified, as significant corrosion was noted in 2024.
