2012 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CV62 VAY

The 2012 Ford Transit presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 8 January 2024 at 91,943 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, matching the prior clean pass on 5 January 2023 at 85,093 miles. Two consecutive annual tests with zero advisories indicates the previous keeper maintained the vehicle to a standard that satisfied DVSA criteria without outstanding wear flags. Annual mileage averages around 6,567 miles against the 14-year lifespan, which is typical for this age of light commercial vehicle. The record shows 6,850 miles accrued between the January 2023 and January 2024 tests, a modest yearly increment with no abrupt accumulation or prolonged dormancy implied by the data. The supplied history is sparse, containing only two entries, both clean, so no recurring fault pattern or escalating wear trend can be evidenced from the documentation alone. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on the chassis and sills, as the Transit of this era is prone to underbody rust not always visible during a standard MOT. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical measurement given the vehicle's age, despite no advisories being raised. The clean record offers reassurance, but the limited test sample means latent wear in drivetrain components or binding calipers cannot be ruled out without a independent mechanical assessment.
