2010 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · YD60 CZP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward escalating mechanical wear and neglected preventative care. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 153,873 miles passed, it revealed several developing faults. The tester flagged the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage and both rear anti-roll bar linkage bushes as having excessive play or wear. More critically, the presence of a corroded brake pipe covered in grease suggests a long-term issue where rust has been hidden, which often leads to rapid structural deterioration if not addressed. The mileage history presents a significant discrepancy that requires verification. A record from January 2023 lists 204,644 miles, yet the subsequent test in October 2024 shows only 142,082 miles. This reversal of over 62,000 miles is likely a clerical error or data tampering. Aside from this anomaly, the average usage of approximately 9,600 miles per year is consistent with a 16-year-old Transit, though the high mileage of 153,873 miles places substantial strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. Recurring issues indicate a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. The offside front brake pipe was noted as corroded in both 2024 and 2025, showing the owner ignored a structural defect across multiple tests. The 2022 failure was particularly poor, involving multiple electrical failures, an ineffective bonnet retaining device, and a missing fuel cap. A prospective buyer must perform a thorough inspection of the brake lines for deep corrosion and check the integrity of the suspension bushings, as the reported wear in the anti-roll bars is nearing the point of failure.
