2022 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · YP72 AAU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive than proactive care. While it passed its latest MOT on 8 May 2026 at 56,099 miles, this followed a significant failure just two days prior at 56,089 miles. This sequence indicates that the owner only addressed defects when forced by law, as the tester flagged critical failures across all four brake assemblies and multiple tyres simultaneously. The mileage profile shows high usage for a four-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging 14,000 miles annually. Between the April 2025 test at 46,273 miles and the May 2026 test, the vehicle covered nearly 10,000 miles in just thirteen months. This rapid accumulation places heavy strain on consumable wear-items. The sudden transition from a clean record in 2025 to a total system failure in 2026 suggests that service intervals were neglected during this high-mile period. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the recent replacements were executed to standard. The previous failure recorded all brake pads at below the 1.5mm threshold, which often causes heat glazing of the brake discs. Furthermore, the uneven wear noted on the front tyres in the May 2026 pass suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. These components should be checked for premature wear to prevent further rapid degradation of new tyres.
