Our Verdict
Exercise extreme caution. This vehicle f
Given the extensive list of failures in 2022—including fractured leaf springs and steering rack play—you must verify if these repairs were ever completed. Request invoices for the steering rack and suspension work, as these are costly items.
Because the vehicle has not been tested since 2022, it should be treated as a project vehicle rather than a ready-to-use van. Negotiate the price heavily to account for the cost of a full mechanical overhaul and the necessary MOT testing required to return it to the road.
The 2.4L diesel engine provides the power required for commercial loads but will result in higher fuel consumption than smaller engine variants. Tax for a 2010 model falls into a higher bracket compared to newer Euro 6 engines, and insurance will vary based on usage.
Maintenance costs are likely to be high given the 170,000+ mileage and the age of the vehicle. Expect frequent replacements of wear-and-tear items such as brakes and suspension components.
Prioritise the areas that caused the 2022 failure: specifically the rear leaf springs and the steering rack inner joints. Inspect the engine bay for the oil leak noted in the records and check the condition of the brake discs and pads, which were flagged as worn or thin.
Additionally, perform a thorough check for chassis and body corrosion, as this is one of the top three failure reasons for the Ford Transit model according to aggregate data. Check the trailer electrical socket and windscreen wipers, both of which were noted as defective in the last test.
This 2010 white Ford Transit features a 2.4L diesel engine and recorded 170,243 miles at its last test. The MOT history shows a failure in August 2022 involving multiple critical components, including the steering and suspension. With a significant gap in testing since 2022, the current roadworthiness is unverified.
The Ford Transit has an average MOT pass rate of 74.4%, with corrosion, headlamps, and tyres being the most frequent causes of failure.
