2012 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · DV62 CTF

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 98,016 miles passed despite the presence of a non-excessive gearbox oil leak and pitted or scored rear brake discs. This represents a regression from the clean records of 2022 and 2023, indicating that components are now reaching the end of their service life. Mileage accumulation is consistent with a 14-year-old van, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. The data shows a steady increase over the last three years, moving from 93,309 miles in August 2022 to 98,016 miles in September 2025. This low usage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy commercial strain, though the low mileage relative to the age increases the likelihood of long periods of stationary, which often leads to the corrosion and pitting on metalwork surfaces seen in the MOT history. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the braking system and the drivetrain seals. The record notes recurring pitting and scoring on front discs in 2024 and rear discs in 2025, which suggests surface corrosion from infrequent use or age-related degradation. The gearbox oil leak identified in the September 2025 test requires a close look to determine if it is a weeping seal or a failing gasket that will soon require intervention. Additionally, checking the chassis for structural integrity is essential, as the MOT record does not explicitly rule out rust common in Transits of this era.
