2010 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · LG10 TYS

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass on October 8, 2025 at 86,481 miles. This result indicates an improving maintenance trend, as the vehicle has successfully addressed previous issues identified in prior tests. While the history shows intermittent failures, the lack of advisories in the two most recent tests suggests that the current owner is proactive in rectifying defects to ensure the vehicle meets the minimum legal standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a sixteen-year-old Ford Transit, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. Between October 2023 and October 2024, the vehicle covered 4,179 miles, and it added another 5,416 miles in the subsequent year leading to the latest test. This consistent, low-usage pattern suggests light duty rather than heavy commercial work, which typically reduces the strain on the drivetrain and engine. However, such low mileage on a vehicle of this age often leads to the deterioration of rubber components and fluid-related issues due to inactivity. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and suspension components, as low-mileage vans are prone to corrosion in the sills and wheel arches. The previous failures in 2023 and 2024 indicate that specific mechanical faults required attention to pass testing, though the exact nature of those defects is not detailed in the summary. Focus on signs of perished suspension bushes, seized brake calipers, or oxidised exhaust sections, which are common when vehicles sit for long periods. The recent clean records are a positive sign, but the age of the vehicle necessitates a check for lateral play in the steering and fluid leaks.
