2010 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · MJ60 ONU

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend in suspension and steering-related wear. The most recent test in June 2023 at 173,934 miles identified multiple points of play in the offside front track rod end and four separate anti-roll bar linkage linkage ball joints or bushes. While the vehicle passed, the increasing frequency of suspension advisories across consecutive years suggests that these components are reaching the end of their functional life and require proactive replacement to prevent future MOT failures. At 173,934 miles, this Ford Transit has been used at a consistent rate of approximately 11,000 miles per year, which is typical for a commercial vehicle of this age. The record shows a steady accumulation of mileage, with 10,542 miles covered between the June 2022 and June 2023 tests. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not sat idle for long periods, though the three year gap since the last recorded MOT as of June 2026 means the current state of the drivetrain and chassis is unverified by a recentSA inspection. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the entire suspension assembly, as the history repeatedly flags issues with anti-roll bar linkages and leaf spring shackle bushes. The persistent front oil leak noted in both 2022 and 2023, alongside previous rear axle hub seal leaks from 2021, requires close attention to ensure these have not worsened significantly. Furthermore, the history of corroded exhaust and thin brake pads from 2021 indicates that the braking system and exhaust should be checked for uneven wear or structural thinning before purchase.
