2010 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · GL10 AEC

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test on 28 October 2023 at 156,873 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a successful retest in September 2022, suggesting that any issues identified during that specific inspection were promptly rectified. The absence of recurring advisories for suspension components, braking systems, or emissions over the last several years indicates a consistent level of upkeep. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age. The record shows a steady progression from 117,398 miles in September 2020 to 156,873 miles by late 2023. This represents an average annual usage of approximately 13,161 miles over that three-year period, which aligns well with the overall vehicle age of 16 years. There are no signs of erratic mileage spikes or long periods of inactivity that would suggest the vehicle has been standing for extended durations. While the MOT record is clean, the age of the vehicle necessitates a thorough physical inspection of high-wear areas. A buyer should focus on the underside to check for structural corrosion, particularly around the chassis rails and mounting points, as these are common failure points on older Transits. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers should be examined for signs of perished rubber or leaks, as MOT testers often miss minor weeping that precedes a failure. The braking system also requires a hands-on assessment. Although no binding calipers or worn discs were flagged in the recent history, the age of the vehicle means brake lines and fluid condition should be verified. Given the consistent mileage, the drivetrain and clutch should be checked for signs of heavy load use. The current MOT data provides a positive baseline, but it cannot replace a physical check of the vehicle's structural integrity and mechanical consumables.
