Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. A significant MOT
Pay close attention to the repairs carried out following the September 2021 MOT failure. You should request invoices to confirm that the 'seriously weakened' rear brake discs, worn pads, and loose seat belt anchorages were replaced rather than patched. Given the recorded corrosion on the offside front brake pipe, a thorough underbody inspection is essential to ensure rust has not spread to other structural areas.
Negotiate the price based on the ongoing suspension wear. The March 2022 MOT noted play in the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage and worn bushes on the rear linkages; these are inevitable wear items for a Transit of this age but will require imminent replacement. Verify the service history for the 2.2L diesel engine to ensure oil changes have been performed regularly.
As a 2.2L diesel, fuel costs will be the primary expenditure, though this engine is known for its utility. Road tax will fall into a band consistent with 2012 diesel emissions standards, and insurance groups for the Transit are generally moderate, though this varies significantly based on whether the vehicle is used for commercial or private purposes.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for this specific vehicle due to the pattern of suspension and brake wear seen in the MOT history. Expect to budget for frequent tyre replacements and suspension bushing work. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, is approximately £1,300-£1,700.
Focus your inspection on the suspension and braking systems. Specifically, check the anti-roll bar linkages and suspension arm bushes, as these were flagged as worn or excessively worn across multiple MOT tests. Ensure there is no play in the steering or unusual knocks when driving over uneven surfaces.
Inspect the chassis and brake lines for corrosion, referencing the 2021 failure regarding the offside front brake pipe. Additionally, physically check the security of the passenger seat and the tension of the seat belt anchorages to ensure the safety failures from 2021 were corrected to a professional standard. Finally, check the condition of all tyres, as the vehicle has a history of being driven on tyres worn close to the legal limit.
This white 2012 Ford Transit with a 2.2L diesel engine has recorded 102,031 miles as of its last MOT in March 2022. The vehicle's history is marked by a severe failure in September 2021, which required extensive work to brakes, suspension, and interior safety fittings. While it subsequently passed, recurring advisories regarding suspension components remain.
The Ford Transit has an average MOT pass rate of 74.4%, with corrosion, tyres, and headlamps being the most frequent causes of failure across the model range.
