2012 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AY62 XKB

The Ford Transit presents a currently roadworthy status following the June 2025 test cycle, with the most recent pass recorded on 12 June 2025 at 183,248 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the vehicle failed twice in consecutive years immediately before the pass, on 3 June 2025 and 6 June 2024, both at identical or near-identical mileages with no defects logged by the tester. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than progressive mechanical decline. Mileage stands at 183,248 against a 2012 build, equating to roughly 13,089 miles per year and reflecting sustained commercial use. The records show 158,121 miles at the June 2023 test, rising to 168,517 by June 2024 and 168,906 by the June 2024 pass, then jumping to 183,248 by June 2025. The 14,000-mile accumulation between June 2024 and June 2025 is consistent with the long-term average. No standing periods or abrupt gaps appear in the data. The clean advisory history across all five entries means the tester never flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions concerns. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity given the high mileage and fourteen-year age, focusing on chassis rust, subframe condition, and drivetrain wear unseen in a basic MOT. The repeated no-defect fails imply the van may have arrived at test without valid documentation or with minor non-mechanical issues, so verify V5C and service receipts before purchase.
