2022 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · DX72 JWD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful pass on 14 October 2025 at 59,411 miles. However, the maintenance history reveals a period of reactive rather than proactive care. The vehicle failed the test just one day prior with a comprehensive list of lighting and visibility defects. While the subsequent pass indicates these specific issues were rectified, the density of the failures suggests the previous owner only addressed faults when necessary to pass the legal inspection rather than performing routine preventative checks. At 59,411 miles over approximately four years, this Ford Transit has covered an average of nearly 15,000 miles per annum. This high mileage profile is consistent with heavy commercial use which typically accelerates the wear on consumable components and suspension-related hardware. The gap between the failure and the pass in October 2025 shows a rapid turnaround for repairs, but the high annual mileage suggests that the drivetrain and braking systems are under significant stress compared to a lower mileage equivalent. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the front-end assembly and the electrical system. The previous failure noted a damaged offside front body component and a broken fog lamp, which indicates potential for minor impacts that may have stressed underlying mounting brackets or wiring. Given the reported ingress in the nearside repeater and the failing wipers, the buyer should check for moisture damage in other light housings and perished rubber. The high mileage also necessitates a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness, as these are the first components to degrade on high-mileage vans of this age.
