2012 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AF12 XEE

The Ford Transit presents a current roadworthy status, having passed the most recent test on 7 July 2022 at 169,828 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with the only blemish being a failure on 2 July 2022 at 169,789 miles that listed no defects, suggesting an administrative or unrecorded minor rectification before the immediate pass five days later. No worsening mechanical pattern emerges from the three entries supplied. The recorded mileage of 169,828 against a 2012 build date gives an average of roughly 12,131 miles per year, which is high for a light commercial of this age and points to steady working use rather than prolonged standing. Between the 2 June 2021 pass at 166,859 miles and the July 2022 tests, the vehicle covered only about 2,969 miles in thirteen months, a low annualised rate for this period. The supplied record is sparse, with just three tests and clean advisories throughout, so no rapid accumulation or concerning gap is evident beyond the quiet final year. A buyer should still inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs in person, as a high-mileage Transit of this era commonly develops wear in those areas even when prior testers logged no advisories. The structural integrity of the chassis and sills warrants a close check for corrosion, given the vehicle's age and commercial duty cycle. The twin July 2022 results with no listed defects offer little diagnostic detail, so a fresh underside and drivetrain examination is prudent before purchase.
