2012 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CL10 LCS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile despite a recent technical retest failure. The most recent MOT on 12 November 2025 at 150,676 miles passed with no defects recorded, which followed an immediate failure just five days prior at the same mileage. This lack of recorded defects on the passing certificate suggests a minor administrative issue or a consumable item that was rectified immediately before the retest, rather than a systemic mechanical failure or structural degradation. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical commercial usage for a 14-year-old Transit, averaging approximately 10,700 miles per annum. The data shows steady progression between the January 2023 test at 129,010 miles and January 2025 at 138,230 miles, followed by a more rapid accumulation of 12,446 miles leading up to November 2025. This consistent interval indicates the vehicle has been used regularly, which generally helps in preventing the internal corrosion and brake-related issues often associated with long periods of inactivity. Given the clean nature of the recorded MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on high-wear areas common to this model at 150,000 miles. The buyer should examine the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points for corrosion, as the MOT only flags surface rust until it reaches a dangerous threshold. Inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is also essential, as these components often fatigue at this mileage without triggering an MOT failure. Checking for binding calipers or uneven brake pad wear will confirm if the braking system remains as clean as the test results suggest.
