2010 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CY60 AVB

The 2010 Ford Transit presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 9 June 2025 at 188,251 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Across the four subsequent annual tests from March 2023 to June 2025, the vehicle cleared each examination without advisories, indicating consistent mechanical condition over the past three years. The earlier failure on 20 January 2022 at 165,032 miles listed no defects, with the vehicle passing four days later on 24 January 2022 at 165,051 miles, which suggests an administrative or minor non-mechanical rejection rather than a substantive fault. The mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a sixteen-year-old light commercial, averaging roughly 11,766 miles per year against the recorded 188,251 miles. The records show steady use: 165,051 miles in January 2022, 173,378 miles by March 2023, 185,514 miles in June 2024, and 188,251 miles by June 2025. The gap between the January 2022 and March 2023 tests covers just over 8,000 miles, while the final year added only 2,737 miles, hinting the van entered lighter service recently. No rapid accumulation or standing-still periods are evident from the data supplied. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on the chassis and sills, as the MOT history records no advisories yet a Transit of this age and mileage commonly develops rust at load points. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on checks despite clean tests, since worn components can pass until tolerance is breached. The January 2022 fail with zero defects points to a paperwork or identification issue; confirm the V5C and test certificate align before purchase. Given the absence of recurring faults across the timeline, previous keepers appear to have maintained the van to a pass-standard level without neglect of consumables or major systems. The clean record at 188,251 miles suggests no immediate mechanical risk, though pre-purchase scrutiny of drivetrain noise and exhaust emissions remains prudent on a high-mileage diesel.
