2012 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · LS62 FKY

The vehicle shows an improving trend in roadworthiness following a period of instability in early 2023. The most recent test on 13 February 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, which follows a clean pass in February 2024. This contrasts with the earlier history where the vehicle failed tests in January 2023 and January 2024. While the most recent results suggest the vehicle is currently meeting minimum standards, the previous failures indicate intermittent issues with compliance. The recorded mileage of 165,900 miles is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 11,850 miles per year. The MOT history shows regular annual testing, though the specific mileage for each individual test was not provided in the data. The gap between the February 2024 pass and the February 2025 pass demonstrates a standard yearly inspection interval, suggesting the vehicle has remained in active use rather than sitting idle for long periods. Because the failed tests in 2023 and 2024 did not specify the exact nature of the defects in the provided summary, a physical inspection is necessary to identify potential recurring issues. A buyer should focus on common wear items for a Transit of this age and mileage, specifically inspecting the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers. The brake system, including discs, pads, and the potential for binding calipers, requires scrutiny. Given the age and mileage, checking for structural corrosion on the chassis and underside is also essential to ensure no underlying degradation has been missed in recent clean tests. buying_score: 65 risk_level: Medium.
