2012 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · E20 DSR

The 2012 Ford Transit demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-10-15 at 133,618 miles recording no defects. Previous tests from 2024 to 2022 also showed no issues, though a failed MOT on 2022-11-01 at 113,859 miles was noted without recorded defects. This suggests the vehicle has maintained compliance with safety standards, though the gap between the last test and today’s date (2026-07-14) raises concerns about unverified maintenance since 2025. The mileage progression aligns with an average of ~9,544 miles annually, but a sharp increase of 16,550 miles between 2024-10-11 (117,068 miles) and 2025-10-15 (133,618 miles) indicates accelerated usage. This could accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, even if no defects were flagged. The absence of recurring issues in the MOT history implies consistent maintenance, though the failed test in 2022 remains unexplained. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, check brake discs for uneven wear, and assess the exhaust system for corrosion, given the vehicle’s age. The high mileage in the final year may have stressed drivetrain components, while the lack of recent MOT data means unverified compliance. Structural integrity and corrosion, particularly in the chassis or body panels, should also be evaluated to confirm no hidden damage.
