2010 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · LT60 NBJ

The 2010 Ford Transit shows a history of significant mechanical wear consistent with its high-mileage profile. The most recent test in August 2021 at 221,298 miles passed despite advisories on the nearside front, offside front, and central rear brake pipes covered in grease. This indicates a recurring issue with brake line corrosion that remained unaddressed in the final inspection. Given that the current date is June 2026, the vehicle is over five years overdue for an MOT, necessitating a comprehensive mechanical inspection to determine the current state of the braking system and underbody components. The vehicle has covered 221,298 miles over 16 years, averaging approximately 13,800 miles per annum. The data from the August 2020 failure at 210,584 miles reveals a period of heavy use or neglected maintenance, flagging both fractured rear leaf springs and an offside front track rod end with excessive play. This same failure also noted engine and differential oil leaks. While the vehicle passed the subsequent test in 2021, the presence of structural-related components and fluid leaks suggests the van has operated under high stress, which typically accelerates the degradation of the drivetrain and suspension bushings. Recurring issues with the braking system and suspension are evident throughout the record. From 2019 to 2021, the tester consistently flagged worn or pitted front brake discs alongside corroded brake pipes and worn arm bushes. The 2020 failure specifically for fractured leaf springs highlights a risk to the load-bearing capacity of the vehicle. A buyer must scrutinize the integrity of the exhaust system and the condition of all brake pipe lines, as the records show a persistent trend toward corrosion that has not been fully rectified through replacement.
