2010 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · FG60 WDF

The 2010 Ford Transit presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, currently holding a valid MOT certificate following a clean pass on 20 January 2026 at 64,292 miles. An earlier test on the exact same date and mileage shows a failure with zero defects recorded, which typically indicates an aborted or voided test rather than a mechanical fault. Since that anomaly, the vehicle passed without any advisories or defects, demonstrating strong current roadworthiness. The absence of recurring mechanical or structural issues across the recorded history suggests the van has avoided the typical corrosion and wear patterns common to older commercial vehicles. The mileage accumulation is remarkably low for a sixteen-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging just over 4,000 miles annually. Between 7 December 2022 at 31,079 miles and 3 January 2024 at 41,890 miles, the van covered only 10,811 miles over thirteen months, indicating very sparing use. The subsequent period saw slightly more regular use, with 6,859 miles added between January and November 2024. Most notably, the van accumulated 15,543 miles in the fourteen months leading up to the January 2026 test, marking the highest recent rate of usage. Despite the flawless MOT record, the low annual mileage and extended periods of potential standing require a focused physical inspection. Buyers should scrutinize the structural integrity of the chassis and load floor for corrosion, as stationary commercial vans often suffer from moisture ingress and surface rust even if they escape major mechanical wear. Suspension bushes and coil springs may have deteriorated due to age and lack of regular use rather than mileage. Inspect the condition of the brake discs and calipers for binding or pitting caused by standing, and check the tyres for sidewall cracking, as the rubber will have hardened over sixteen years regardless of the minimal tread wear. The engine and exhaust should be evaluated for emissions compliance upon cold start, verifying that prolonged idling or short journeys have not caused excessive carbon buildup or degraded the catalytic converter.
