FORD TRANSIT2012 · 2.2L Diesel

The 2012 Ford Transit demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its recent MOT history. The most recent test on 2025-01-17 at 134,783 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming compliance with safety standards. Earlier tests from 2023-10-19 (115,580 miles) and 2022-07-22 (99,788 miles) also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. A single failure on 2022-07-21 at 99,761 miles was recorded, though no defects were listed, suggesting a procedural error or minor technicality. Overall, the vehicle shows no recurring mechanical concerns in the past three years. The mileage of 134,783 miles aligns with an average of 9,627 annual miles over 14 years, reflecting typical usage for the model. A notable gap exists between the 2021-06-23 test (97,363 miles) and the 2022-07-21 failure, spanning 13 months with minimal recorded mileage. This could indicate infrequent use or incomplete records. Subsequent tests show a sharp increase in mileage, with 15,817 miles added between 2022-07-22 and 2023-10-19, potentially accelerating wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust systems. The absence of defects in later tests suggests these elements were managed effectively. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly coil springs and bushings, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The lack of recorded brake-related issues is positive, but a physical inspection of calipers and discs is advisable to confirm no hidden corrosion or wear. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as rust or panel damage may not appear in MOT records. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the 2022 failure and uneven mileage progression warrant a thorough pre-purchase check to ensure no underlying issues were overlooked.
