2010 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · LJ02 HOB

The most recent MOT on 2026-01-05 shows the vehicle passed with 51,111 miles, but the same date also includes a failed MOT entry at 51,075 miles. This suggests a possible retest or administrative error, but the key findings from the passed MOT highlight recurring issues. Leaf spring shackle bush wear, brake disc pitting, tyre wear, and corroded brake pipes were all recorded. These defects align with earlier MOTs, indicating persistent mechanical concerns. The pattern of defects shows no clear improvement in critical areas. Leaf spring wear, brake disc condition, and tyre health have been repeatedly noted since 2023, with no evidence of repairs. The 2026 failed MOT added an exhaust emissions failure , which is a serious safety and legal issue. This suggests potential underlying problems with the engine or emissions system, which may require immediate attention. The vehicle’s mileage of 51,111 miles over 16 years equates to roughly 3,194 miles per year, which is low for its age . This could indicate light usage or extended periods of inactivity, both of which may contribute to wear on components like brakes, tyres, and suspension.
