2010 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · FP10 AEU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing an improving trend in maintenance over recent years. The most recent test on 28 August 2025 at 147,797 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical and electrical issues have been addressed. This follows a period of instability between 2023 and 2024 where various suspension and brake-related faults required attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 16-year-old commercial vehicle, reflecting an average accumulation of approximately 9,200 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between October 2019 and February 2021, during which the vehicle covered over 16,000 miles. Since 2021, the usage has remained steady, suggesting a regular operational cycle that prevents the component degradation often seen with long periods of heavy-duty vans. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and structural integrity. The record shows a recurring history of worn anti-roll bar ball joints and bushes, which were flagged in both 2023 and 2024. While these appear resolved as of the 2025 test, the buyer should check for any remaining play or knocks in the steering-work. Additionally, the corrosion on the inner sill areas noted in 2018 requires a thorough underbody inspection to ensure rust has not progressed into a structural failure. The braking system has also shown a history of deferred maintenance, with failures for worn pads and scored discs in 2016, 2017, and 2018. Although the 2022 advisory for front tyres worn to the legal limit suggests the owner may occasionally neglected consumables, the recent clean pass is positive. verifying the thickness of the brake pads and the condition of the disc surfaces is essential to confirm the current components have sufficient remaining life.
