2022 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · FE22 WFG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed the May 2026 MOT test at 89,011 miles, the tester identified new defects that were absent during the previous year's inspection. The appearance of thin material on both front and rear brake pads indicates that the braking system is reaching the end of its service interval and requires immediate attention to maintain safety. The mileage accumulation is significant for a four-year-old Transit, averaging approximately 22,253 miles per year. Between the June 2025 test at 81,778 miles and the May 2026 test at 89,011 miles, the vehicle covered 7,233 miles in just eleven months. This high rate of use is consistent with a heavy commercial duty cycle, which explains the accelerated wear on consumable components despite the relatively young age of the van. A physical inspection must focus on the central front oil leak flagged in the most recent record. Although the tester deemed the leak not excessive, a leak at this mileage often suggests a failing front crank seal or oil gasket that requires monitoring to prevent a major engine failure. Given the high mileage, the buyer should also verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, as these components frequently degrade rapidly under the heavy loads typical of a high-frequency transit vehicle.
