2012 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · GF12 ACJ

The 2012 Ford Transit presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 7 May 2025 at 162,511 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in January 2024 at 148,635 miles and November 2022 at 137,088 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across its recorded history. Mileage stands at 162,511 over roughly fourteen years, averaging about 11,600 miles annually which is typical for a light commercial van. The records show a gap between the November 2022 test at 137,088 miles and the January 2024 test at 148,635 miles, a span of fourteen months for 11,547 miles of use. Sparse but clean testing data limits deep trend analysis, though no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion appear at any stage. The only anomaly is a failed test on 30 November 2021 at 133,698 miles with no defects recorded, immediately followed by a pass on the same day at identical mileage. This suggests an administrative or procedural error at the testing station rather than a genuine mechanical fault. No recurring problems with coil springs, binding calipers, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity emerge from the sequence. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of the chassis for hidden rust, check the drivetrain for oil leaks given the high total mileage, and verify tyre condition and wiper operation as consumables unseen in the record. The clean advisory history implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but the sparse test frequency means wear between tests went unmonitored by DVSA.
