2012 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AF12 LWY

The 2012 Ford Transit presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 30 August 2025 at 91,318 miles which passed with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the August 2024 test at 86,404 miles also passed cleanly, and the July 2023 pass at 80,122 miles shows the vehicle has cleared every successful examination without advisories for over two years. The record carries two failed entries on 30 August 2024 and 11 July 2023, both at near-identical mileages to the subsequent passes on the same or next day, with no defects listed; this points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. The van has covered 91,318 miles across roughly fourteen years, averaging about 6,523 miles per year which is typical for a light commercial of this age. The mileage stepped from 80,120 at the 11 July 2023 failure to 80,122 on the 12 July pass, then rose to 86,404 by August 2024 and 91,318 by August 2025, showing steady low annual use with no sudden accumulation. The clean sweep of no-defect passes and the absence of any recorded advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion means the DVSA data gives no signal of deferred consumable care. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the chassis given Transits of this era are prone to structural rust at sill and spring mount sections not always caught in a pass with no defects. The twin same-day failure and pass pairs in 2023 and 2024 warrant a check of the V5 and test centre notes to rule out a mileage or identity mismatch. Verify brake disc thickness, coil spring condition, and exhaust emissions in person, as the record offers no advisories to confirm these were measured beyond minimum thresholds.
