2012 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · KM12 FJE

The 2026-06-18 test on 139,234 miles shows a clear and deteriorating maintenance trend, with the most recent test on 2025-08-26 failing on the brake pipe due to corrosion, indicating that the vehicle has not undergone adequate upkeep since that date. This failure, occurring in the context of a failed registration plate lamp and offside suspension bush collapse, suggests that the owner has likely been neglecting critical mechanical systems for a significant period of time. The mileage accumulation is substantial, averaging approximately 9,945 miles per year, which aligns with a typical 14-year-old vehicle. However, the data reveals significant gaps in the ownership record, with the most recent test on 2025-08-26 failing on the brake pipe at 139,234 miles, while the previous test on 2025-08-18 failed on the anti-roll bar linkage at 139,202 miles. This pattern indicates that the vehicle has experienced rapid mileage accumulation without corresponding maintenance, a risk that is exacerbated by the frequent failures on suspension and brake components. Given the recurring structural defects in the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to assess structural integrity and the condition of suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust emissions. The history of failed tests on the brake pipe and suspension bush, combined with the severe damage to the tyres and drive shafts, indicates that the roadworthiness is compromised and requires immediate professional diagnosis before any further driving is permitted.
