2010 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · P10 YJW

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a successful pass on 22 May 2025 at 85,074 miles. This result indicates a stable roadworthiness status, as the record shows three consecutive clean passes since April 2023. While the vehicle failed initial tests in February 2024 and May 2025, the absence of recorded defects suggests these failures were likely administrative or related to minor issues rectified immediately on-site, rather than indicative of systemic mechanical decline. The recorded mileage of 85,074 miles over a sixteen-year lifespan averages approximately 5,317 miles per annum. This low usage pattern for a commercial vehicle of this age warrants careful scrutiny of long-term storage effects. The consistent, low-intensity accumulation of miles suggests the van has not been subjected to the heavy-duty cycles typical of a Ford Transit, though extended periods of inactivity can lead to issues such as seized brake components, perished rubber seals, and internal corrosion within the fuel system. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as these Transits are prone to corrosion that may not always be captured in a standard MOT check. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of degradation or cracking, as these components often deteriorate due to age rather than high mileage. Check the brake discs and calipers for evidence of binding or surface oxidation, which are common consequences of infrequent use. Verify that the engine starts cleanly from cold and monitor the exhaust for smoke, which would indicate potential issues with the fuel injection system or valve stem seals resulting from long-term standing.
