2010 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · EX60 KLU

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a worsening trajectory regarding underbody and fluid integrity. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 101,168 miles resulted in a pass, it flagged a new oil leak and a worn nearside front tyre that were not present in previous years. The persistent presence of corroded brake pipes across multiple tests suggests the owner is addressing only the minimum requirements to pass inspection rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year over the last four years. Between November 2021 at 80,698 miles and December 2025 at 101,168 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 20,500 miles. This low-annual usage for a sixteen-year-old Ford Transit suggests it has seen light commercial, though it also contributes to the degradation of rubber components and the accumulation of corrosion on metal surfaces as seen in the record. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and structural integrity. The tester has repeatedly flagged corroded brake pipes covered in grease since 2021, a common tactic used to mask deep corrosion from the visual inspector; you should verify if these lines have actually been replaced or merely cleaned and painted. Furthermore, the record consistently notes structural corrosion since 2024. While rigidity is not yet compromised, the presence of surface rust on the chassis or member sections requires close monitoring to ensure no perforation is developing between tests. The recurring oil leak has been a constant factor since at least 2021, indicating a persistent engine or seal failure that remains unresolved. Given the history of pitted brake discs and thinning pads, the entire braking assembly should be checked for uneven wear or seized calipers. The vehicle appears to have been maintained on a reactive basis, which increases the likelihood of finding secondary mechanical issues in the near future.
