2022 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · MM72 EES

The most recent MOT examination conducted on 26 November 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend and suggests that the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy condition without the emergence of common wear and tear issues typically associated with commercial use. The absence of any recorded failures or cautionary notes suggests a high standard of preventative care or a very light operational load. With a recorded mileage of 28,279 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,070 miles per annum. This is significantly lower than the typical annual mileage for a Ford Transit, implying that the drivetrain, clutch, and suspension components have undergone relatively low mechanical stress. However, low mileage commercial vehicles can sometimes suffer from neglect regarding time based maintenance, making it essential to verify that the service intervals have been adhered to regardless of the odometer reading. Given the clean MOT history, the physical inspection should focus on age related degradation rather than wear induced failure. You should carefully examine the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or ozone cracking, as tyres can degrade over time even if the tread depth remains legal. It is also critical to inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and to ensure that the calipers are not binding, which can occur when a vehicle is not driven frequently or is left stationary for extended periods. Furthermore, you must verify the health of the 12V battery and check for any signs of fluid degradation. Engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid break down over time due to chemical oxidation, meaning calendar based replacements are as vital as mileage based ones. Review the service book for official stamps or digital records to confirm that these fluids have been changed. During the test drive, listen for any unusual suspension knocks or drivetrain vibrations that may have developed from periods of inactivity.
