2010 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · PO60 BVL

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a period of significant neglect followed by reactive maintenance. While it passed its most recent test in July 2025 at 90,779 miles, the history reveals a critical lapse in mechanical standards during April 2024. At that time, the vehicle failed with extensive defects across electrical, braking, and hydraulic systems. The current trend appears stable only because the owner began addressing specific faults only when forced by MOT failures, rather than following a preventative service schedule. The mileage pattern is highly irregular for a sixteen-year-old Ford Transit, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year. However, the data shows a suspicious lack of activity between February 2023 (90,646 miles) and April 2024 (90,691 miles), where only 45 miles were recorded over fourteen months. This suggests the vehicle sat for long periods, which often leads to the degraded rubber components, seized calipers, and internal corrosion of brake lines as seen in the 2024 failure report. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and fluid lines. The April 2024 test flagged excessive corrosion on all four brake pipes and pitted discs across the axles, indicating deep moisture ingress or lack of use. The recurring issue of an inoperative parking brake and imbalanced rear brakes suggests the mechanical mechanism within the drums may be failing or corroded. Furthermore, the persistent wear on the nearside rear inner tyre across multiple years indicates a likely alignment issue or a worn suspension bush that remains unaddressed.
