2010 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · YC60 AAV

The vehicle is currently not roadworthy; the most recent test on 5 November 2025 at 135 745 miles resulted in a failure. The failure list includes an inoperative engine management lamp, insufficient windscreen washer fluid, and a headlamp aim fault that was not present on the same day’s pass entry. Recurring items such as oil leaks, worn brake discs, corroded brake pipes, and suspension arm wear have persisted across the 2023‑2025 period, indicating an unstable maintenance trend rather than a clear improvement. Mileage accumulation has been steady but slowing. Between the November 2023 test (128 094 miles) and November 2024 (132 801 miles) the vehicle added roughly 4 700 miles, then only about 2 944 miles to reach 135 745 miles in the latest test. This pattern suggests a modest reduction in annual usage, consistent with the overall average of around 8 500 miles per year for a 16‑year‑old transit. The MOT tests have been conducted annually without significant gaps, providing a relatively complete data set. A prospective buyer should inspect the front lower oil system for active leaks, check the front inner suspension arm pins and bushes for excessive play, and examine all brake discs and pads for scoring or uneven wear. The rear tyres show inner‑side cracking; both front tyres are near legal tread limits, so a close visual and measurement check is warranted. Brake pipes on both sides exhibit corrosion and grease contamination—inspect for brittle hoses and proper routing. Structural corrosion is present along the front‑rear axis; verify that chassis rigidity has not been compromised. Finally, test the engine management lamp, headlamp aim, and rear stop‑lamp operation to confirm electrical and lighting systems are fully functional before purchase.
