2012 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AF12 LWR

The 2012 Ford Transit presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 July 2025 at 96,785 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 30 July 2024 at 95,794 miles after an anomalous same-day failure with no defects logged. The history shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the five entries from February 2023 to July 2025. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,900 miles, typical for a 14-year-old van. The record moves from 92,694 miles on 16 February 2023 to 94,777 miles on 16 February 2024, then 95,794 miles by 30 July 2024 and 96,785 miles by 11 July 2025. The gap between February and July 2024 tests reflects only about 1,000 miles added, indicating light use. The sparse, clean record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs. The same-day fail and pass on 30 July 2024 with no defects cited points to an administrative or test-process error rather than a mechanical concern. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and subframe corrosion, as the MOT record omits advisories that often appear on Transits of this age. Given the absence of flagged wear on tyres, exhaust emissions or binding calipers, prior keepers appear to have maintained the vehicle to a basic pass standard. Verify service history and check for hidden rust in load areas before purchase, since the MOT data alone cannot confirm structural integrity beyond the test dates.
