FORD TRANSIT2022 · 2.0L Diesel

The vehicle currently holds a clean bill of health following its most recent MOT test conducted on 25 July 2025 at 48,223 miles. This pass without any recorded defects or advisories indicates that the van met all statutory roadworthiness standards at the time of inspection. Given the lack of historical failures or recurring faults, the maintenance trend appears stable, suggesting that the vehicle has been subjected to standard servicing and has not suffered from neglected mechanical issues. The recorded mileage of 48,223 miles over a four-year period equates to an average of approximately 12,000 miles per annum. This figure is consistent with typical commercial usage for a Ford Transit, indicating a pattern of steady, regular operation rather than prolonged periods of inactivity or excessive heavy-duty service. Because the vehicle has only reached the age required for its first MOT recently, the data set is limited, but the clean pass at this mileage confirms that the drivetrain and primary systems have handled the accumulated distance without significant degradation. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components typical of a commercial vehicle with this level of mileage. Although the MOT record is clean, you must check the condition of the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or scoring, as these are common consumables on a Transit that may have been replaced just prior to the test. Inspect the suspension bushes and the condition of the tyres for signs of scrubbing or irregular tread wear, which can occur if the vehicle has been consistently loaded near its maximum payload capacity. Verify the integrity of the chassis and underbody, specifically looking for any early signs of surface corrosion on the leaf springs or exhaust hangers. While the MOT tester found no structural issues, a hands-on check of the steering rack gaiters and constant velocity joint boots is recommended to ensure no splits have developed since the last inspection. Confirm that the engine bay shows no evidence of oil leaks or cooling system seepage, as these areas are often overlooked during routine testing but are critical for the long-term reliability of this powertrain.
