2010 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · SL10 ABH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having achieved clean passes in its two most recent inspections. The test performed on 7 July 2025 at 195,421 miles showed no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This follows a clean result in July 2024, suggesting that despite the high mileage, the mechanical and safety components monitored by the DVSA have been maintained to a consistent standard. The mileage profile reflects high-intensity commercial use, averaging approximately 12,200 miles per year over its sixteen-year life. A significant period of heavy usage is evident between March 2023 and July 2024, where the vehicle covered 23,071 miles in just 16 months. However, the usage rate slowed considerably between July 2024 and July 2025, with only 71 miles recorded in that full year-long interval. This shift in usage suggests a change in vehicle application, which often puts specific stress on stationary components like rubber seals and seals that may age through time rather than through friction. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the suspension, as these areas impact high-mileage Transit models. While the recent records are clean, the failure on 1 March 2023 at 172,299 miles indicates a specific fault that required rectification prior to the subsequent pass. Given the high mileage, a thorough check for corrosion on the frame members and wear on the coil springs and arm bushes is essential to ensure that the clean MOT passes are not masking underlying structural fatigue that is nearing the end of life.
