2022 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · BT22 MRX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of deferred preventative maintenance. While it passed the most recent test in May 2026 at 90,160 miles, the tester identified severe deterioration on both the nearside and offside outer drive shaft joint constant velocity boots. This represents a failure to address rubber components before they reached a critical state, which often leads to grease loss and premature joint failure if not replaced immediately after inspection. This Ford Transit has accumulated significant mileage for its four-year age, averaging approximately 22,540 miles per year. Between the July 2025 test and the May 2026 test, the vehicle covered 13,903 miles in just under ten months. This rapid accumulation suggests heavy commercial use or long-distance motorway driving, which accelerates the wear rate on suspension components, drivetrain elements, and braking systems. The gap between the 2025 failure for thin brake pads and wiper blades and the subsequent pass shows that repairs were only performed when prompted by an inspection failure. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the drivetrain to ensure no grit or water has entered the CV joints due to the deteriorated boots. The 2025 failure for thin brake pads on both front and rear axles indicates the previous owner operated the vehicle to its absolute limits. You should verify the current thickness of the brake material and check the discs for thinning, given the high annual mileage. Furthermore, the suspension bushings and rubber mounts should be inspected for signs of cracking or tearing that typically follow high-mileage cycles.
