2010 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · YA10 KZD

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in June 2026 at 160,832 miles passed, the presence of structural corrosion within 30cm of a mounting and a worn nearside rear tyre indicates that underlying issues are beginning to surface. The transition from a failure in June 2023 to subsequent passes suggests the owner is addressing critical faults only when necessary to pass the annual inspection. At 160,832 miles over 16 years, this Transit has averaged approximately 10,000 miles per year, which represents typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, notably with roughly 6,000 miles covered between April 2025 and June 2026, and another 6,700 miles between June 2023 and April 2025. This regular mileage suggests the vehicle has not sat idle, which also explains the gradual degradation of rubber components and brake-related wear. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and mounting points due to the corrosion flagged in the June 2026 test. The recurring history of pitted and scored brake discs across both 2023 and 2025 indicates a pattern of neglected brake maintenance or frequent use in harsh conditions. Furthermore, the slight play in the prop shaft bearing noted in 2023 and the deteriorated offside anti-roll bar ball joint noted in 2025 necessitate a check of the drivetrain and front suspension for play or mechanical fatigue. The missing rear passenger seats across multiple years should also be verified for potential damage to the floor mounting bolts.
