YD60 BWF MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2010 Ford Transit (YD60 BWF) between January 2024 and March 2026.
The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 27 March 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (11 issues), Lighting (9 issues), Suspension (3 issues), Tyres (2 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 26 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Exhaust emissions exceed manufacturer's specified limit (8.2.2.2 (a))”; “Service brake efficiency below requirements (1.2.2 (a) (i))”; “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”.

Our Verdict
This 2010 Ford Transit diesel van carrie
Given the breadth of advisories spanning brake discs, brake pads, track rod ends, wheel bearings and corroded inner sills, any inspection should focus on whether remedial work has actually been carried out — not merely whether the vehicle passed its last test. The failed January 2025 test highlighted gearbox mount failure, emissions exceeding manufacturer limits, and poor brake efficiency, so ask for receipts confirming these were resolved before the next pass in March 2025. The March 2026 advisories also note that both front brake pipes are corroded (now covered in grease) and that the sills have been repaired and undersealed, so probe carefully for evidence of welding or professional structural repair.
When negotiating, use the failed test and the repeated brake and corrosion advisories as leverage to push the price down or require remedial work be completed at the seller's expense. Inspect the underside on a ramp if possible to verify the extent of sill and underbody corrosion beyond what MOT cameras can capture. Check that the prop shaft bearing wear noted in March 2026 has been addressed, and confirm whether the high-stop lamp and gear selector lamp issues were properly rectified.
Running a 2.4-litre diesel Transit from 2010 is not cheap. Expect fuel economy in the 28-34 mpg range when lightly loaded, dropping under heavier payloads, and road tax of around £290 per year for a diesel van of this engine size in this age bracket. Insurance is typically group 8-10 for this generation of Transit, which is moderate for a commercial vehicle, though business users should confirm commercial van cover is appropriate.
Maintenance costs are where Transits can sting: brake discs and pads front and rear, propshaft bearings, track rod ends, wheel bearings and exhaust components are all appearing as advisories here. A typical annual service with brakes, tyres and consumables for a high-mileage diesel Transit of this age commonly lands between £900 and £1,400. Add potential repair costs for the corroded sills and brake pipes noted in 2026, and the realistic total running cost lands higher than for a cleaner example.
Prioritise a close look at the braking system — the same front and rear brake disc wear advisories have appeared across the 2024 and 2025 tests, and a brake pipe corrosion advisory was added in 2026, so check pad and disc life remaining and inspect lines for active rust. Inspect the front suspension for track rod end play and wheel bearing noise, both of which were flagged as advisories in 2024 and have reappeared. Examine the inner sills and underside carefully: corrosion was noted in January 2024, and the March 2026 test records that both sills have been repaired and undersealed, which can mask deeper structural problems.
Confirm that the exhaust emissions issue from the January 2025 failure has been properly resolved, as a recurring emissions problem can indicate DPF, EGR or injector concerns on a 2.4 TDCi engine. Verify the gear box mount rubber (replaced after the January 2025 failure) is in good condition and check the prop shaft bearing play noted in March 2026. Finally, look over the bodywork for any signs of accident repair, panel replacement or fresh paint that could indicate the van has been used hard, and check the 2.4-litre diesel for any oil leaks given the persistent 'oil leak not excessive' advisory across 2025 tests.
This white 2.4-litre diesel Ford Transit, first registered in September 2010, has covered 109,330 miles across five recorded MOT tests. The record includes one failure (January 2025) and four passes, though multiple advisories around brake wear, corrosion, suspension components and track rod play appear repeatedly. Mileage of around 6,500 miles per year is below the Ford Transit aggregate average of 8,962, but the cluster of braking, exhaust and structural concerns elevates the overall risk profile.
Across 733,837 Ford Transits analysed, the average MOT pass rate is 74.4%, with the top failure reasons being headlamp issues, corrosion and tyres. This example's pass rate of 80% (4 of 5) is fractionally above average, but its corrosion and brake concerns are consistent with the model's known weak points.
