2012 Ford Transit 135 T350 RWD 2.2L Diesel · JFZ 3734

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 February 2026 at 89,064 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior test on 19 February 2025 also passed cleanly. Across the available history the Transit shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults, indicating consistent compliance with roadworthiness standards. Recorded mileage suggests light use for a 2012 panel van. The 7 February 2023 test logged just 942 miles, rising to 1,948 miles at the 13 February 2024 failure and 1,957 miles at the 22 February 2024 pass, then jumping to 89,064 miles by February 2025. This pattern implies the van stood largely idle until early 2024, after which roughly 87,000 miles were added in a single year. Such abrupt accumulation points to intensive commercial duty late in life rather than gradual wear. The February 2024 failure carries no listed defects, so the rejection likely involved administrative or unrecorded minor matters rather than structural or brake defects. Still, the sudden high-mileage phase warrants a close in-person check of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for fatigue. Driveline components on a RWD Transit at this mileage merit inspection for wear. A buyer should verify underside structural integrity for corrosion and examine exhaust emissions against current limits. Given the clean MOT trail, no urgent red flags exist, but the late-life mileage surge means consumables and chassis joints may be closer to replacement than the sparse record implies.
