2010 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · SD10 ADU

The most recent MOT, dated 18 November 2024, recorded a pass at 135 179 miles with no defects noted. This follows two immediate failures on 3 and 16 November 2024 at virtually identical mileages (135 377 mi and 135 374 mi). The rapid correction from failure to pass indicates an improving maintenance trend, yet the gap to the present date of 8 August 2026 means the vehicle now lacks a current MOT certificate. Mileage accumulation from the June 2023 pass (131 472 mi) to the November 2024 pass (135 179 mi) totals roughly 3 700 mi over about 17 months, averaging close to 8 100 mi per year. This rate is consistent with typical usage for a 16‑year‑old Transit. The clustering of three tests within a week in November 2024 suggests a short‑term corrective effort rather than a long‑term decline, and the record otherwise shows no recurring defect entries. Because the failures were logged without detailed defect descriptions, a buyer should inspect the likely consumables that often trigger such outcomes. Examine the braking system for binding calipers, uneven disc wear or pad wear, and verify that the rear brake discs are not corroded. Check suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, and look for any signs of exhaust corrosion or structural rust on the chassis. Confirm that any work carried out between the two November 2024 tests was properly documented and completed, and ensure the vehicle’s underside is free from significant rust or damage.
