2012 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · CV12 CFE

The 2012 Ford Transit presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 14 May 2025 at 120,183 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across the available history the vehicle cleared every annual examination without advisories, indicating no escalating mechanical concerns over the observed period. Mileage advanced from 94,669 at the 27 April 2022 test to 103,218 by 5 May 2023, then 111,403 on 10 May 2024 and 120,183 in May 2025. This equates to roughly 8,500 miles per year, consistent with typical light commercial use for a fourteen-year-old van. The record shows one anomalous failure on 4 May 2023 at 103,218 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass the next day, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a genuine fault. Given the clean sequence of passes and absence of flagged corrosion, worn suspension bushes, brake disc scoring, or exhaust issues, the previous keeper appears to have maintained the vehicle to a basic roadworthy standard. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity beneath the body, check for perished rubber components and binding calipers not caught in the test bay, and verify the service history independently. The sparse but unbroken record offers no evidence of neglected consumables or recurring defects. Treat the 2023 same-mileage failure as a clerical anomaly, and rely on a pre-purchase examination to confirm the underside and drivetrain match the favourable MOT data.
