2012 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AF12 LXV

The Ford Transit presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 15 May 2025 at 214,379 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. The vehicle has cleared its last two annual examinations without advisory or failure entries, indicating no worsening mechanical condition across the observed period. Mileage stands at 214,379 over roughly fourteen years, an average of about 15,313 miles per year and high for the age. The records show 209,876 miles on 7 February 2023, then 212,653 and 212,668 across two May 2024 tests, rising to 214,379 by May 2025. Annual accumulation has slowed to around 1,700 to 2,800 miles in the later years, suggesting lighter recent use. The history is sparse and clean, with no advisories or consumable wear flags logged at any stage. The February 2023 and May 2024 entries each show a fail immediately followed by a pass at identical mileages, yet the DVSA data records no defects against either failure. This pattern implies administrative or presentation anomalies rather than logged mechanical faults, and no suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues appear in the chain. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, subframe corrosion, and drivetrain wear given the 214k mileage and 2012 build. Verify the genuine reason for the two same-day fail-pass pairs with DVSA, as the missing defect text prevents technical assessment of what the tester initially rejected.
