Our Verdict
Exercise extreme caution with this 2010
Given the vehicle's history of severe structural corrosion, fractured leaf springs, and inadequate body repairs noted in previous MOT tests (such as in January 2024 and May 2026), a professional ramp inspection is essential. Verify that previous structural welding or repairs to the sills and chassis meet safety standards and that the excessive corrosion identified near body mountings has been properly resolved.
Examine the service record closely to check how frequently critical items like suspension components, braking systems, and the 2198.0cc diesel engine have been maintained. Budget for potential ongoing repairs, as the MOT record shows recurring faults with lighting, suspension play, and oil leaks that span multiple testing cycles.
As a large commercial vehicle with a 2.19-litre diesel engine, fuel economy will vary significantly depending on load weight and driving conditions. Insurance falls into commercial categories that depend heavily on your intended use profile, while vehicle excise duty for a 2010 diesel van follows standard commercial tax band structures.
Maintenance and repair costs are likely to be above average for this vehicle class due to the high mileage (157,641 miles) and the recurrent history of mechanical and structural failures. Estimated annual running costs, encompassing fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance, are expected to be between £1,800 and £2,500.
Inspect the chassis and body structure thoroughly, paying specific attention to the outer sills and areas within 30cm of body mountings where excessive corrosion and inadequate repairs were previously recorded in MOT tests. Check the condition of the leaf springs and axle fixings, as fractures and loose U-bolt nuts have appeared in past test failures.
Examine the braking system, including the rear brake discs and the anti-lock braking system, to ensure components are not excessively worn or pitted. Check the front suspension for ball joint dust cover deterioration and wheel bearing play, verify the operation of all lamps and indicators, and investigate the source of the non-excessive oil leak noted in the recent test.
This white 2010 Ford Transit with a 2198.0cc diesel engine has recorded 157,641 miles as of June 2026. The MOT history reveals significant past issues, including multiple failures for structural corrosion within 30cm of body mountings, fractured leaf springs, and inadequate structural repairs. Although it achieved a pass in June 2026, persistent advisories for headlamp condition, an oil leak, and a deteriorated registration plate remain.
Ford Transit models in aggregate hold an average MOT pass rate of 74.4%, with headlamps, corrosion, and tyres forming the most common failure reasons across the fleet.
