2012 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · EO12 UBT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent pass record over the last several years. The most recent inspection conducted in October 2022 at 98,056 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a functional standard, passing all mechanical and structural checks without the immediate failures that typically plague older commercial vans. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between June 2019 and June 2020, the vehicle covered 12,181 miles, indicating a period of higher usage. However, the rate slowed significantly between November 2020 and October 2022, with only 8,589 miles recorded over two years. This lower annual mileage in recent years suggests lighter use or longer periods of stationary, which can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components and brake fluid moisture despite the low odometer reading. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must perform a physical inspection focusing on the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly common in this Transit generation. The 2019 test noted a noisy turbo, which while it did not cause a failure, warrants a close check for oil leaks or blue smoke under load. Given the gaps in mileage accumulation, the suspension bushes and brake calipers should be inspected for signs of seizing or tearing, as these components often suffer from age and inactivity rather than just distance driven.
