2012 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · LL62 TZT

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to emerging component wear. The most recent test in April 2026 at 118,443 miles flagged multiple defects regarding the front braking system, specifically pitted and scored discs on both nearside and offside alongside thin pads. This marks a departure from the clean passes seen between 2022 and early 2025, indicating that the braking components are now reaching the end of their service life. The mileage pattern is consistent with a fourteen-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. The data shows a steady accumulation of roughly 13,000 miles between September 2022 and January 2025, with another 7,200 miles covered between January 2025 and April 2026. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has been used consistently rather than left stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for mechanical seals and drivetrain components despite the inevitable age of the parts. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front braking assembly to determine the extent of the corrosion on the discs. While the tester noted pitting and scoring rather than structural thinning, the combination with thin pads suggests a full front brake overhaul is likely required. Given the vehicle's age and typical commercial use, the inspection should also check for structural corrosion on the chassis and inspect the suspension bushes, as these are common failure points on Transits that do not yet appear in the recent MOT history.
