2010 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · LG60 CUO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, maintaining a clean record across its three most recent inspections. The latest MOT conducted on 15 March 2024 at 207,943 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the mechanical and structural issues causing the 2022 failure were rectified and that the vehicle has maintained a high standard of compliance over the last two years. The recorded mileage of 207,943 miles reflects a heavy-use profile, averaging approximately 13,000 miles per annum over its sixteen-year life. There is a notable usage gap between February 2022 and March 2023, where the vehicle covered only 595 miles in over thirteen months. However, the subsequent accumulation of 10,806 miles between March 2023 and March 2024 shows a return to consistent annual operation. This suggests the vehicle is currently in active commercial or utility service rather than sitting stationary for long periods. Given the high mileage and the age of the vehicle, a physical inspection must focus on components subjected to heavy-duty stress cycles typical of the Ford Transit. A buyer should scrutinise the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the rear members and mounting points, as these often fail on high-age vans. The suspension requires a thorough check for worn bushes and perished coil springs, especially as the high annual mileage accelerates wear on rubber components. Brake systems should also be examined for binding calipers or thin disc surfaces to ensure the vehicle remains safe under heavy loads.
