2010 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · EF10 AFV

The 2010 Ford Transit currently fails to meet roadworthiness standards. The most recent test on 21 January 2026 at 178,843 miles returned a failure with no defects recorded, repeating a pattern seen across four consecutive December 2025 and January 2026 tests. This cluster of failures with no listed defects points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than a clear mechanical trend, but the vehicle is legally unroadworthy today and the maintenance record shows no resolving direction. Recorded mileage rose from 167,294 at the 3 December 2024 pass to 178,783 by the 13 December 2025 failure, an increase of 11,489 miles over twelve months that matches the roughly 11,178 miles per year average for the vehicle's age. The jump from 178,741 on 13 December 2025 to 178,843 on 21 January 2026 shows only light use in that window. The single clean pass in December 2024 and the sparse history before it give little detail on consumable wear or structural condition across the prior fifteen years. A buyer must physically verify why four successive tests logged failures with no defects cited, as DVSA systems usually record refusal reasons. The absence of advisories on the 2024 pass does not confirm sound suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural integrity at 178,843 miles. Given the age and high mileage, expect corroded subframes, worn steering joints, and tired dampers even if the paper record stays silent. Inspect the exhaust emissions system and check for binding calipers or uneven pad wear from prolonged standing between the 2024 pass and late 2025 tests. Confirm the V5C and test centre paperwork match the DVSA entry, since repeated no-defect failures suggest a recording anomaly that could hide real faults from a casual buyer.
