2010 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · YD60 CZH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but exhibits a history indicating a trend of recurring mechanical wear and deferred maintenance on consumable components. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 221,921 miles resulted in a pass, the vehicle failed the initial inspection due to minor lighting failures and hardware issues. The maintenance pattern appears stable but reactive, as several advisories regarding suspension and braking components are repeatedly noted across multiple years without being exhaustively addressed. At 16 years old, the 221,921 miles recorded on this Transit represent a high mileage profile, averaging approximately 13,870 miles per annum. The data shows consistent use, with roughly 19,000 miles covered between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 11,755 miles in the final year recorded. This high rate of mileage accumulation places significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension assemblies, which is reflected in the ongoing issues noted in the inspection history. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension system, as the offside front anti-roll bar ball joints and rear anti-roll bar bushes have been noted as worn or deteriorated for three consecutive years. There is also evidence of structural degradation; specifically, the offside front outer integral body structure was flagged as corroded in October 2025. While not yet a structural failure, the presence of corrosion on a high-mileage commercial vehicle requires close monitoring for further thawing of the metal. The braking system also requires attention, with records consistently showing worn front discs and pitted/scored rear discs. Additionally, the history notes a corroded nearside front brake pipe and various oil leaks, including a gearbox mounting and half shaft leak identified in 2023. A buyer should verify that these oil leaks have been rectified and ensure the structural corrosion on the bodywork has not progressed to a point of instability.
