2010 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · GL10 AEN

The vehicle is currently in a stable roadworthy condition based on the most recent MOT pass on 19 March 2025. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories across the last five tests indicates a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets minimum legal requirements. The failure on the same day as the most recent pass suggests a minor administrative or quick-fix issue rather than a significant mechanical breakdown. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 8,868 miles per year. Between September 2021 at 136,612 miles and June 2023 at 141,588 miles, the van covered approximately 4,976 miles over 21 months. Use has dropped significantly since then, with only 302 miles added between June 2023 and June 2024, and a further 62 miles recorded by March 2025. This suggests the vehicle has spent long periods stationary over the last two years. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by inactivity. While the MOT history is clean, the lack of mileage since 2023 increases the risk of seized brake calipers, perished tyre sidewalls, and battery degradation. Check for signs of corrosion on the chassis and suspension mounting points, as these areas are prone to rust on 2010 Transits regardless of a clean MOT record. Verify the condition of the engine oil and coolant to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from prolonged standing. The lack of reported advisories is positive, but the sudden drop in usage warrants a thorough check of the drivetrain and fluid levels to confirm the van remains mechanically sound for daily operation.
