2010 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · YE60 TKF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but shows a history of deteriorating structural and mechanical integrity. While it passed its most recent test on June 2026 at 186,504 miles, the record reveals a trend of significant corrosion and braking system issues. The maintenance pattern appears unstable, as a major failure in May 2025 highlighted critical structural weaknesses in the outer cill and brake efficiency. The recent pass noted corroded brake pipes covered in grease, suggesting an attempt to mask oxidation rather than resolve the underlying decay. At 186,504 miles over 16 years, the Transit has covered a typical average of approximately 11,600 miles per year, which is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age. The mileage progression shows consistent use, with roughly 4,200 miles covered between the June 2025 and 2026 tests. This steady usage suggests the vehicle is subjected to regular work, which explains the accelerated wear on heavy-duty components like the anti-roll bar linkages and brake hardware recorded in the history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the outer cill and chassis structure, as the May 2025 failure for excessive corrosion impairing cab stability is a serious long-term concern. The recurring reports of pitted and scored brake discs alongside corroded brake pipes indicate that the braking system is nearing the end of its effective life. Attention should also be paid to the wheel bearings and suspension bushings, which previously failed for excessive play and wear, as these components often require frequent replacement on high-mileage Transits.
