2010 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · BJ10 EYG

The vehicle currently lacks a valid roadworthiness certificate following a failure on February 16, 2026, at 169,055 miles. While the vehicle successfully passed its tests in previous years, the recent trend shows a recurring pattern of immediate failure upon presentation or shortly after a pass. This suggests that specific mechanical or emissions issues are either not being addressed or are failing repeatedly as the vehicle reaches higher mileage intervals. The overall status is currently unstable until the defects from the most recent test are rectified and retested. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a sixteen-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per annum. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the Transit covered 7,001 miles, while it added 4,089 miles between the February 2025 tests and the 2026 failure. This steady usage pattern indicates the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which typically helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and brake seals despite the high age. A buyer must focus on the specific reasons for the February 2026 failure, as the lack of clear advisories in the history masks potential underlying mechanical wear. Given the age and mileage of this Transit, a physical inspection should prioritize checking for structural corrosion on the sills and floor pans, which are common failure points for this generation. The inspector should also examine the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as the recurring failures suggest that components may be nearing the end of their functional life.
