Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mech
Given the high mileage and the specific MOT advisories, your first priority should be inspecting the suspension and steering components. The 2025 MOT noted both nearside and offside front tyres were worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges; this can sometimes indicate alignment issues or worn bushings rather than just simple tyre age.
Ask for a detailed service history to see how the 2.2L engine has been maintained, particularly regarding timing belt intervals. You should also check the condition of the drive shafts, as the 2023 MOT failure was due to a severely deteriorated CV boot. Ensure any recent work on the tyres or suspension has been documented to confirm the cause of the edge wear was addressed.
As a 2198cc diesel, running costs will be heavily influenced by load and driving style. Expect moderate fuel economy typical for a Transit of this era, though high mileage usage often implies more frequent long-distance trips.
Tax and insurance groups for a 2010 Transit vary depending on the specific payload and engine configuration, but you should budget for commercial-grade insurance. Maintenance costs should be factored in for more frequent component replacements, such as brakes, tyres, and suspension parts, which are common wear items for high-mileage vans.
Direct your attention to the front axle and tyres. The 2025 MOT record of edge-worn tyres on both sides suggests you should check for uneven tread patterns which might point to worn shock absorbers or incorrect wheel alignment.
Additionally, inspect the CV boots and drive shafts. The 2023 MOT failure for a 'severely deteriorated' offside front outer drive shaft joint boot indicates this is a known area of wear for this vehicle. Check for any signs of grease leakage around the joints or clicking noises when turning the steering wheel at low speeds.
This 2010 Ford Transit (DV60XAR) is a 2.2L diesel model with 140,809 miles recorded at its last MOT in June 2025. The mileage is significantly higher than the model aggregate average of 8,947 miles per year, reflecting its likely use as a commercial workhorse. The MOT history shows one recorded failure regarding a CV boot in 2023 and recent tyre advisories in 2025.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 74.4% MOT pass rate, with headlamps, corrosion, and tyres being the most common failure reasons.
