2010 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · KT10 AEO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 23 February 2026 at 203,202 miles. The maintenance trend indicates a stable pattern where the owners consistently identify and rectify issues immediately following a failure. While the record shows failures in both 2025 and 2026, the vehicle passed the subsequent tests within days of the initial failure, suggesting a proactive approach to maintaining safety-critical components rather than a history of long-term neglect. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 203,202 represents an average usage of approximately 12,700 miles per annum. This reflects consistent commercial use typical of a Ford Transit rather than long periods of standing. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the vehicle covered 6,567 miles, but usage surged to 14,526 miles in the year leading up to the 2026 test. This recent period of high-mileage operation places significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system, which require close mechanical scrutiny. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and frame, as high-mileage vans of this era are prone to corrosion in the mounting points. Given the recent failures followed by passes, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary to identify any signs of excessive wear or play. The brake discs and calipers should also be inspected for thinning or binding, as the high annual mileage suggests consumables are likely nearing the end of their service life cycles.
