2010 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · YD10 HWR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in October 2025 at 95,093 miles passed without failures, though it noted advisories for both front tyres reaching the legal limit. This follows a concerning period in late 2024, where the vehicle failed on multiple counts including parking brake efficiency and corrosion. While the immediate mechanical faults were addressed, the recurring nature of defects suggests the owner only addresses issues once they trigger an MOT failure. At 95,093 miles, this 2010 Ford Transit has covered relatively low mileage, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage, with roughly 7,500 miles covered between October 2023 and October 2025. This low mileage suggests the van was not used for heavy long-distance commercial work. However, low mileage on a vehicle of this age often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber components and seals, which is consistent with the recurring corrosion issues found in the braking system. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension. The record shows brake pipe corrosion appearing in 2023 and 2024, indicating a vulnerability to rust or a lack of underbody protection de-greasing the fluid lines. The repeated advisories for front tyres worn on the inside edge in 2024 point to persistent alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that were never properly rectified. Additionally, given the parking brake failure in late 2024, the mechanical linkage should be tested to ensure the cables and adjusters are fully functional and not seized.
