2010 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CV60 ODB

The Ford Transit passed its most recent MOT on 24 February 2026 at 157,050 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it currently roadworthy. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the test history shows a recurring pattern of initial failures followed by quick passes at identical mileages, which points to administrative or presentation issues rather than progressive mechanical decline. Recorded mileage sits at 157,050 against a 2010 build, averaging roughly 9,800 miles per year and matching typical use for this age of light commercial vehicle. The records show a long flat period between 6 November 2023 at 142,179 miles and 4 November 2024 at 142,950 miles, adding only 771 miles across twelve months, then a jump to 157,050 by February 2026. Sparse test data and clean advisories mean we cannot chart wear on consumables or structural items from the certificate alone. The February 2026 failure at 157,050 miles and the November 2024 failure at 142,950 miles both list no defects, suggesting the van was presented without a valid prior certificate or with paperwork gaps rather than hard faults. A buyer should still inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody corrosion in person, as a 16-year-old Transit with those miles commonly hides fatigue the MOT did not capture. Given the repeated fail-pass same-day or next-day cycles, previous keepers likely deferred routine upkeep or let documents lapse. Verify service history, check for structural rust on sills and chassis rails, and confirm the February 2026 pass reflects genuine condition before purchase.
