2010 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · FE60 YGF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift from a clean record to developing reactive repairs. The most recent test in October 2025 at 136,553 miles identified multiple advisories that were absent in previous years. While the vehicle passed without defects between 2021 and 2023, the recent emergence of brake-related issues and tyre degradation indicates that the vehicle is entering a phase where aged components require more frequent attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Between September 2024 and October 2025, the vehicle covered 5,100 miles, suggesting a steady but moderate usage profile. There are no significant gaps in the testing that would suggest long periods of abandonment or neglect. However, the low annual mileage for a 16-year-old Transit means that rubber components and metal surfaces are likely suffering from age-related perishation and oxidation rather than purely from miles driven. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and rubber components. The October 2025 test flagged a corroded brake pipe covered in grease, which often masks deeper structural decay of the metalwork. Combined with the pitted rear brake discs and thin pads, the braking assembly is nearing the end of its service life. The recurring reports of cracking and perishing tyres across 2024 and 2025 indicate that the tyres are drying out due to age, which should be checked for sidewall integrity regardless of remaining depth.
