2010 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · PO60 BVG

The vehicle presents a concerning trend regarding its structural integrity despite its low mileage status. While it passed its most recent MOT in December 2023 at 79,554 miles, the recorded history reveals a worsening progression of corrosion issues. The transition from general underbody corrosion in 2021 to actual holes in the offside step and front outer sills by 2023 indicates that the metalwork is degrading rapidly and potentially reaching a critical point of structural failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a 16-year-old Transit, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. The vehicle recorded 77,160 miles in November 2021 and 79,554 miles in December 2023, representing only 2,394 miles driven over two years. While low mileage suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, long stationary periods often correlate with accelerated corrosion on brake lines and components when the vehicle is rarely used to strip away moisture from the undercarriage. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the sills and underbody to determine the extent of the rust rot. The record flags corroded brake pipes in 2023 and thin front pipes back in 2021, suggesting the hydraulic system is at risk of internal failure. The recurring mentions of worn brake discs and thin pads indicate that the braking system is due for comprehensive attention. Given the structural holes noted in the latest test, the vehicle carries a high risk of failing future MOT tests if the advancing corrosion is not professionally treated and repaired.
