2010 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · NL10 PLN

The 2025‑12‑03 MOT at 182,956 miles resulted in a pass, confirming that the vehicle met the required standards after the previous failure on 2025‑11‑11 at 182,954 miles. The recent test shows that the listed advisories – off‑side rear and front tyre damage, oil leak, and under‑body corrosion – were addressed, but the underlying suspension defects (excessively worn anti‑roll bar linkages, fractured leaf springs and worn suspension arm pins/bushes) indicate a pattern of recurring mechanical issues rather than a steadily improving condition. Covering 16 years from 2010 to 2026, the recorded mileage of 182,956 equates to roughly 11,435 miles per year, which aligns with the typical usage for a 2010 Transit. The annual MOT interval is regular, with only minor gaps such as the jump from 166,887 miles in 2021 to 172,100 miles in 2022, and no evidence of prolonged standing periods that would suggest neglect. A buyer should therefore concentrate on the suspension system, inspecting the anti‑roll bar linkages, ball joints, leaf springs and suspension arm pins/bushes for excessive wear, cracks or fractures, and verifying that the tyres are free of perishing, cracking or tread wear close to the legal limit. Particular attention must also be given to the oil leak source, the extent of under‑body and sill corrosion, brake condition including pad thickness and disc wear, and the functionality of the windscreen wipers and registration plate lamps. If these items are found to be in satisfactory condition, the vehicle can be considered roadworthy despite its age and high mileage; however, the repeated suspension and tyre advisories suggest that previous owners may have deferred essential maintenance, making a thorough in‑person inspection essential before purchase.
