2010 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · ND60 DFK

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 18 November 2025, which remains valid until 17 November 2026. While the most recent test resulted in a clean pass, the preceding failure on 6 November 2025 indicates a period of significant neglect regarding the braking and fuel systems. The presence of excessive corrosion on multiple brake lines and a fuel leak suggests that maintenance was reactive rather than preventative, pointing to a worsening trend in component condition prior to the final rectification. The recorded mileage of 149,591 over sixteen years averages out to approximately 9,350 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical light commercial usage. The jump from 135,061 miles in November 2024 to 149,371 miles in November 2025 shows a period of heavier use, accumulating over 14,000 miles in a single year. This increased intensity likely accelerated the degradation of the brake pipes and wheel bearings that were flagged during the 2025 inspection cycle. Prospective buyers must prioritise a thorough inspection of the underbody and brake lines, as the history of corrosion is concerning. The 2024 test noted that brake pipes were covered in grease, a common tactic used to mask degradation during an inspection, and the 2023 record highlighted structural corrosion. You should verify the quality of the recent repairs to ensure the brake lines were replaced rather than patched. Inspect the chassis rails and sills for signs of fresh welding or heavy underseal, which may be hiding ongoing structural decay. Given the age and high mileage of this Transit, check for any residual play in the wheel bearings and ensure the fuel system remains dry after a sustained test drive.
