2010 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · LM10 AAY

The vehicle current roadworthiness status is uncertain due to a significant gap in testing. The most recent entry on 3 November 2023 resulted in a failure at 171,867 miles, and there are no records of a subsequent pass or a renewed certificate since that date. This leaves the vehicle without a valid MOT for over two years relative to the current date of 20 July 2026. The mileage pattern remains consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 10,742 miles per year. The distance covered between 24 October 2019 at 139,015 miles and 19 October 2022 at 167,641 miles shows steady usage. However, the vehicle has remained stationary at 171,867 miles since the failed test in November 2023, suggesting a prolonged period of inactivity. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the chassis and suspension components. Long periods of standing often lead to seized brake calipers, perished tyre sidewalls, and accelerated corrosion on structural members. Given the lack of recorded defects in the passes between 2019 and 2022, the mechanical history appears clean, but the 2023 failure without listed defects is an anomaly that requires clarification from the seller. Focus the physical inspection on the fuel system and battery health, as these typically degrade during extended dormancy. Check for signs of rodent damage to the wiring loom and ensure the engine oil has not emulsified. A full mechanical sympathy check is necessary to determine if the vehicle is still viable for road use after such a long hiatus.
