2012 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · HY62 GFE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the record indicates a pattern of immediate rectification. The most recent MOT test in July 2022 at 151,427 miles passed with no recorded defects, suggesting the vehicle was in a compliant condition at that time. However, the fact that the vehicle failed just one mile prior to that pass on the same day suggests a minor mechanical adjustment or a consumable item was present that was addressed immediately before the re-test. The mileage profile remains consistent with a high-use commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap in recorded data between the January 2020 test at 106,878 miles and the March 2021 test at 112,630 miles, covering roughly 6,000 miles in 14 months. Following this, the vehicle accumulated nearly 39,000 miles between the March 2021 and July 2022 tests. Since the last recorded entry occurred nearly four years ago, the current roadworthiness cannot be verified through the history alone, and the vehicle has likely undergone significant wear since the 151,427-mile mark. A buyer must focus the physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as these are the primary areas of concern for Transits of this age. The history does not show recurring advisories for corrosion or brake wear, but the high mileage necessitates a close look at the chassis rails, mounting points, and coil springs for signs of fatigue. The tester should also check for fluid leaks and perished rubber bushings. Given the elapsed time since the last MOT, a fresh inspection is mandatory to ensure that no new mechanical failures or structural weaknesses have developed during the period of unrecorded use.
