2012 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · YD12 AEC

The 2012 Ford Transit is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2026-02-16 confirming no defects at 90,637 miles. The maintenance trend shows stability, as the vehicle has passed all tests since 2023, including a 2024-11-26 failure that recorded no defects. This suggests the failure was likely procedural or unrelated to mechanical issues, with no recurring faults impacting the vehicle’s integrity. The absence of advisories or critical failures in recent records indicates the owner has maintained basic compliance, though the 2024-11-26 anomaly warrants scrutiny to confirm the test’s validity. The vehicle’s mileage of 90,637 miles over 14 years equates to an average of 6,474 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. Notable gaps in the MOT history include a 10-month interval between the 2023-11-22 test (74,129 miles) and the 2024-11-26 test (83,586 miles), during which the vehicle accrued 9,457 miles. This rate of 9,457 miles in 12 months exceeds the annual average, potentially indicating increased usage or irregular servicing. Subsequent tests show lower mileage accumulation, suggesting possible reduced activity or inconsistent tracking. The data remains largely clean, with no evidence of excessive wear or neglect in the recorded tests. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these components often degrade over 14 years of use. The exhaust system and underbody should be checked for corrosion, particularly if the vehicle was exposed to harsh conditions. Brake discs and calipers warrant attention, as even minor wear can escalate without regular monitoring. While the MOT records show no immediate risks, the vehicle’s age and mileage necessitate a thorough physical inspection to confirm the absence of hidden issues, such as structural rust or undetected mechanical fatigue.
