2010 Ford Transit 2.3L Diesel · EF10 ADO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2023-11-11 resulted in a fail, with multiple brake and suspension issues persisting despite prior passes. Corrosion in rear suspension mounting areas, worn brake discs, and thin pads were noted, alongside a stretched nearside brake hose. These findings indicate a maintenance trend where critical components like brakes and suspension have not been adequately addressed, suggesting ongoing wear without resolution. The absence of a subsequent MOT since 2023-11-11 raises concerns about its current roadworthiness. The mileage of 270,559 miles at 2026-07-17 equates to an average of 16,910 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for a 16-year-old vehicle. Notably, the 2022-07-28 MOT recorded 270,052 miles, followed by a 2022-07-14 fail at 270,015 miles—a 37-mile gap that may indicate inconsistent recording or minimal use. The subsequent 2023-11-11 test showed a 544-mile increase, suggesting rapid accumulation post-2022, which could accelerate wear on high-mileage components like brakes and suspension. Recurring issues include brake system degradation, with thin pads, pitted discs, and stretched hoses repeatedly flagged. Suspension components such as anti-roll bar bushes and leaf springs showed wear, while corrosion in structural areas and brake pipes highlights potential long-term integrity risks. A buyer should inspect the underbody for rust, test brake functionality, and assess suspension bushings and coil springs for excessive play. The lack of recent MOT data further complicates verification of these concerns.
