2012 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AD12 CWR

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 14 February 2025 at 234,032 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has consistently cleared the testing process following failures in previous years. While the record shows failures in 2023 and 2025, the immediate rectification required to achieve subsequent passes suggests that the previous owner was proactive in addressing identified faults to keep the vehicle legal for the road. The mileage reflects a heavy-duty usage typical for a Transit, averaging approximately 16,700 miles per year over its 14-year life. Between February 2023 and February 2025, the vehicle covered 38,750 miles in just two years, indicating consistent high-intensity operation. This rate of accumulation puts significant strain on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension assembly. However, the consistency of the annual testing intervals suggests the vehicle has been in regular service rather than being left to corrode during long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. Given the 234,000-mile mark, a thorough check of the structural integrity is vital, specifically looking for corrosion on the chassis rails and mounting points where salt and moisture often accumulate. The suspension should be inspected for perished bushes and signs of worn coil springs. Additionally, the braking system requires a check for binding calipers or thinned discs, as these components often suffer under the heavy loads associated with commercial vehicle use.
