2010 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · WX60 ARO

The 2010 Ford Transit presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 18 October 2025 at 153,275 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly on 6 November 2024 at 142,829 miles and on 13 October 2023 at 137,583 miles. The only blemish in the sequence is a failure on 26 October 2024 at 142,603 miles, which the record shows with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault, given the immediate pass ten days later. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a sixteen-year-old light commercial, averaging roughly 9,580 miles per year against the 153,275 miles recorded. The gaps between tests show steady use: 4,515 miles covered between the October 2023 and November 2024 tests, then 10,446 miles to the October 2025 test. No standing periods or abrupt accumulation spikes appear in the data, and the clean advisory-free history across all passes indicates the previous keeper addressed consumables and mechanical items before each examination rather than letting wear flag as advisories. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points common to Transits of this era, particularly chassis rails, sills, and suspension mounting areas, since the MOT record shows no advisories that would reveal creeping rust. The brake discs, calipers, and suspension bushes warrant physical measurement despite no binding or wear being logged, as a clean record at high mileage can mask components near replacement thresholds. Given the sparse but consistent test history with a single unexplained failure and otherwise fault-free results, the vehicle implies disciplined basic upkeep by its prior owner. Verify service paperwork and confirm the October 2024 failure cause with the testing garage, then proceed to a pre-purchase mechanical check before commitment.
