2012 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AF12 LWW

The 2012 Ford Transit presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 15 September 2025 at 56,216 miles which recorded no defects. Prior tests on 17 September 2024 at 52,402 miles, 6 October 2023 at 46,994 miles, and 5 October 2022 at 37,543 miles each returned passes with no advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, recurring mechanical issues, or escalating wear across the four-year record. Annual mileage sits at roughly 4,015 miles against the vehicle's fourteen-year age, a low figure for a Transit van. The records show steady annual use of around 4,400 to 5,400 miles between tests with no abrupt accumulation or dormant gaps. Such low yearly coverage alongside four consecutive clear MOTs suggests the previous keeper used the van lightly and kept basic upkeep current, though the sparse history offers no deep insight into component-level intervention. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points beneath the chassis, as a clean MOT does not certify absence of developing rust on older Ford commercials. The tester logged no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns, yet standing time implied by low mileage can mask perished seals or flat-spotted tyres unseen in the record. Verify the documented mileages against service stamps and V5C to confirm no unrecorded lay-up. With no advisories ever raised, the mechanical risk from the official data is low, but pre-purchase checks on binding calipers after prolonged parking remain sound practice.
