2012 FORD TRANSIT 125 T350 RWDDiesel

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness pass from the 19 October 2024 test at 290,952 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the history shows two prior failures with no listed defects: a fail on 21 September 2024 at 290,184 miles and another on 22 April 2023 at 267,158 miles. Both failures cleared on retest without recorded faults, suggesting administrative or unlogged presentation issues rather than progressive mechanical decline. At roughly 14 years old, the Transit shows 290,952 miles, an average of about 20,782 miles per year, which is high for a 2012 light commercial. Mileage rose from 254,561 in May 2022 to 267,289 by May 2023, then jumped to 290,184 by September 2024. The gap between the April 2023 fail and the May 2023 pass, plus the September to October 2024 fail-retest cycle, indicates the van stayed in regular heavy use with no long dormant periods. Sparse test entries mean we cannot track consumable wear between annual checks. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity and corrosion on chassis rails, sills, and suspension mounts given the mileage and RWD load. Examine front suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for fatigue, as high annual mileage accelerates wear even when tests log no advisories. Confirm the rear brake calipers are not binding after prolonged service. The repeated no-defect failures imply the previous owner presented the van late or incompletely rather than neglecting core upkeep. Given clean passes from 2022 onward, the drivetrain seems intact, but a pre-purchase inspection beneath the vehicle remains essential at this mileage.
