2010 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CA59 FXM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive repairs as the components age. The most recent test in February 2025 at 195,026 miles identified multiple advisories that were absent in earlier inspections. While the vehicle passed, the presence of worn suspension arm bushes on both fronts and thinning front brake pads suggests that the vehicle is entering a phase where significant mechanical components require imminent replacement to maintain safety standards. The mileage profile shows high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 12,200 miles per year over its sixteen-year life. There is a notable gap in the record between the January 2014 test at 95,245 miles and the February 2025 test at 195,026 miles. During this eleven-year interval, the vehicle covered 100,000 miles. This rapid accumulation suggests heavy commercial use which places considerable strain on the drivetrain and structural integrity of a Ford Transit of this era. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension, as the tester flagged wear on the bushes of both the nearside and offside suspension arms. These worn components often lead to poor handling and uneven tyre wear if not addressed. The recorded oil leak from February 2025 also requires a close look to determine if it originates from a simple seal or a more costly engine failure. Given the high mileage and the thin brake pads, checking the remaining life of the front discs and the condition of the calipers is essential to ensure the braking system is not nearing total failure.
