2010 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · MA60 PZM

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a history of significant structural failure and mechanical neglect. While the most recent test in May 2022 at 145,352 miles passed, it followed an immediate failure just two days prior due to critical issues including an inoperative engine management light. The maintenance trend appears unstable, as the vehicle has repeatedly failed for major defects related to structural integrity and braking systems, suggesting that previous owners only addressed the minimum legal requirements to pass a test rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 145,352 miles over 16 years, the Ford Transit has averaged approximately 9,000 miles per year, which is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age. However, there is a significant gap in the data, with the last recorded MOT occurring in May 2022. Given the current date in 2026, the vehicle has operated without a recorded inspection for over four years. This lack of recent data masks the current state of the mechanical components, especially considering the rapid degradation of chassis and brake components noted in previous years. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the inner sills and body mounting points, as the February 2021 test flagged excessive corrosion seriously affecting the structural strength of the chassis. This type of structural rust is often progressive and costly to rectify. The entire brake pipe system requires a rigorous check, as the record shows a recurring pattern of corrosion and leaks dating back 2020 and 2021. The suspension, specifically the anti-roll bar ball joints and track rod ends, also require checking for play and perished rubber boots following the identified points of failure in the most recent history.
