2022 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · HJ22 WXD

This 2022 Ford Transit has passed its most recent MOT test on 6 June 2025 at 138,281 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. The absence of any failures or warnings in the single available test suggests the vehicle has remained roadworthy for the past year, though the sparse MOT history limits long-term trend analysis. The lack of recurring issues does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in high-mileage components—but the clean pass indicates no obvious neglect or mechanical failures at the time of testing. The recorded mileage of 138,281 miles over four years equates to an average of approximately 34,570 miles annually, which is unusually high for a commercial van of this age. Such rapid accumulation implies significant use, accelerating wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain components. The absence of intermediate MOT tests or service records means there is no evidence of regular maintenance or early intervention to mitigate this wear. Buyers should treat this as a red flag for potential accelerated degradation in areas like wheel bearings, brake calipers, and exhaust system integrity. Given the high mileage and lack of MOT history, an in-person inspection should prioritise the suspension system for worn or cracked bushes and degraded coil springs, particularly in the rear where binding or uneven wear is common. Brake discs and pads should be checked for uneven thickness or glazing, while the wheel bearings and hubs warrant thorough inspection for play or excessive heat. The exhaust system should be examined for corrosion or leaks, especially around joints and mounts, given the prolonged exposure to road salt and vibration. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should also be assessed for signs of rust penetration or frame distortion. The absence of MOT data makes these areas critical for verifying the vehicle’s true condition.
