2010 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · AV10 RXB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear trend of improvement following a period of mechanical neglect. The most recent test on April 22 2024 passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical and safety issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This follows two clean results in 2022 and 2019, suggesting the vehicle has maintained its standards over the last several years. Data regarding mileage accumulation is sparse, making a full assessment of usage patterns impossible. The last recorded mileage was 93,556 miles in July 2018. Because no mileage figures are provided for the tests from 2019 onwards, it is impossible to determine if the vehicle has seen high-mileage use or sat idle. The three-year gap between the 2019 and 2022 tests suggests inconsistent testing intervals before the vehicle returned to a standard annual cycle. A physical inspection should focus on the braking system and suspension components given the significant failures in July 2018. That specific test flagged a failing nearside front wheel bearing, contaminated rear brake discs, and overall poor brake efficiency. While the 2024 test passed, a buyer must verify that the wheel bearing remains free of play and that the rear calipers show no signs of binding or uneven wear. The previous supplementary restraint system warning lamp fault also requires a diagnostic check to ensure the airbag system was properly rectified. Given the age of this 2010 Ford Transit, a thorough check for structural integrity is essential. Although the recent MOT records do not list corrosion-related advisories, vehicles of this era are prone to rust in the sills, floor pans, and mounting points. Inspect these areas for bubbling paint or perforation to ensure the recent clean passes are not masking underlying structural degradation that could lead to a future failure.
