2012 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AF62 HKT

The vehicle appears mechanically stable based on the available data, though the MOT history is severely outdated. The most recent recorded test on 5 October 2021 at 154,018 miles resulted in a pass with no defects. However, the vehicle has not had a recorded inspection in nearly five years relative to the current date of 18 July 2026. This gap creates a significant blind spot regarding the current roadworthiness and structural integrity of the van. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 11,001 miles per year. Between October 2019 and October 2021, the odometer rose from 129,726 to 154,018 miles. This represents a steady accumulation of approximately 12,000 miles per annum during that period. The lack of any recorded mileage increase since 2021 suggests the vehicle has been stationary or off the road for several years. A buyer must prioritize a comprehensive physical inspection of the chassis and suspension. Long periods of inactivity often lead to seized brake calipers, perished rubber suspension bushes, and accelerated corrosion on the underbody. While the 2019 and 2020 tests showed a pattern of immediate rectification following failures, the absence of any advisories for brake discs or tyre tread is unusual for a high-mileage Transit. Special attention should be paid to the fuel system and engine seals, as these components often degrade when a vehicle sits idle. Verify the current state of the exhaust system for leaks and check for any signs of structural rust on the sills and wheel arches. Given the five-year gap in testing, the vehicle should be treated as unroadworthy until a fresh MOT confirms the condition of the steering and braking systems.
