2010 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · L1 GHO

The 2010 Ford Transit presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile, with the most recent test on 27 May 2025 at 11,030 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Across the five available MOT entries from June 2021 to May 2025, the vehicle passed every test without advisories, indicating no worsening mechanical trend and consistent compliance with statutory standards. The recorded mileage shows exceptionally light use for a sixteen-year-old commercial vehicle. The tester logged 5,162 miles in June 2021, rising to 7,292 by May 2022, 9,230 in May 2023, 10,459 in May 2024, and 11,030 in May 2025. That equates to an average annual accumulation of roughly 689 miles, with no gaps or sudden jumps in the sequence. The absence of any flagged wear items across this period suggests the previous keeper stored the van for long intervals and carried out minimal but sufficient upkeep to clear each annual test. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion, as the MOT record shows no advisories but a Transit of this age commonly develops rust on chassis rails and sills under prolonged standing. The brake discs, calipers, and suspension bushes warrant physical checks despite clean test outcomes, since low mileage and dormancy accelerate seizing and perishing rather than wear. Verify the condition of tyres and flexible hoses for sidewall cracking from age rather than tread loss.
