2010 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AF60 TBU

The Ford Transit presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, passing cleanly on 14 August 2025 at 175,745 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with the vehicle clearing every test that it reached and showing no recurring advisories or escalating mechanical faults. Two earlier failures in December 2022 and December 2023 were logged at identical mileages to the passes that followed days later, yet the DVSA entries list no defects against either failure, which points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than a deterioration in the vehicle's condition. The recorded mileage of 175,745 over roughly sixteen years equates to about 10,984 miles per year, a typical usage rate for a Transit of this age. The gap between the December 2023 pass at 157,731 miles and the August 2025 pass at 175,745 shows only 18,014 miles added in twenty months, confirming light recent use. Earlier, the van covered 9,750 miles between December 2022 and December 2023, and 9,750 again from the 2022 fail to the 2023 fail, a consistent annual pattern with no sudden accumulation that would accelerate drivetrain or suspension wear. The absence of any recorded advisories across five tests means the MOT file gives no direct signal of worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake components. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the chassis rails, subframe, and sills for rust, given the vehicle's 2010 build year and outdoor commercial exposure common to Transits. The brake discs, calipers, and coil springs should be measured for wear, and the exhaust checked for internal corrosion not visible at test. The repeated fail-then-pass sequence at the same mileage in both 2022 and 2023 suggests the previous owner used a tester who raised and cleared the certificate without noting faults, so reliance on the clean pass list alone is unwise. Verify the service history independently and confirm the 2025 test was a genuine full examination before purchase.
