2010 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · NG10 AVF

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. While the most recent test on 15 September 2025 at 183,932 miles resulted in a failure due to a nearside rear registration plate lamp, the defect was rectified immediately to secure a retest pass with no recorded defects. This suggests the owner is proactive in addressing minor electrical failures to keep the vehicle legal for road rather than allowing faults to persist. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a sixteen-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per annum. Between June 2022 and September 2025, the vehicle covered 15,080 miles, indicating a steady usage pattern rather than long periods of neglect or sudden heavy overloading. The intervals between tests are regular, with a 6,771-mile gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests, which reflects a predictable wear cycle on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity of the sills. The June 2023 test at 172,012 miles flagged rusting and flaking on both the offside and nearside inner sills. Although no further advisories were noted in subsequent tests, corrosion on Transit chassis components tends to be progressive. You should inspect the underbody to ensure the rust has not transitioned into structural perforation, which would significantly compromise the long-term viability of the vehicle. Given the high mileage and the age of the van, pay attention to the suspension bushes and brake components for accelerated wear. The record does not show recurring mechanical failures or binding calipers, but the 183,932-mile mark means components are likely nearing their service life if they have not been replaced recently. Focus on checking for fluid leaks and excessive play in the steering geometry that a standard MOT test might not fully capture.
