2010 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · EK60 CVE

The 2010 Ford Transit presents a clean MOT record at its most recent test. The October 2025 pass at 128,802 miles was completely defect-free, a result that reflects well on the vehicle's current mechanical condition and suggests the maintenance trend is stable. The preceding September 2025 failure at 128,795 miles also shows no recorded defects, indicating the failure was likely an administrative or procedural issue rather than a mechanical one, and was swiftly resolved before the retest seven days later. The mileage pattern reveals a notable gap. Between October 2015 at 119,125 miles and August 2023 at 127,722 miles, there is an eight-year void in the MOT history with no recorded tests. This means the vehicle was either SORN, stored, or operating without a valid MOT for a substantial period. The recorded mileage increased by just 8,597 miles over those eight years, confirming very light use or prolonged standing. From August 2023 to October 2025, the vehicle covered only 1,080 miles across two years, reinforcing a pattern of minimal recent activity. Buyers should pay close attention to components that deteriorate from age and inactivity rather than mileage. Tyres with good tread but date codes from the mid-2010s may have perished sidewalls. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers can perish from sitting, and brake discs and calipers may have surface corrosion from prolonged stationary periods. Fuel system seals, hoses, and rubber components are also prone to drying and cracking after long periods of disuse. A thorough underbody inspection for structural corrosion is essential, especially on a commercial vehicle of this age that may have spent time standing on exposed ground. The clean MOT record is encouraging, but the eight-year documentation gap means a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection is strongly advised.
