2022 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · MT72 AEA

The Ford Transit passed its sole recorded MOT on 23 September 2025 at 23,153 miles with no defects or advisories noted. This single examination indicates the vehicle held a roadworthy condition at that date and suggests a stable mechanical profile, though the absence of prior tests limits any assessment of long-term trend. The recent pass sits roughly nine months before the current evaluation date of 14 July 2026, leaving present roadworthiness unverified by statutory test since. Registered in 2022, the van reached its first mandatory test in September 2025, recording 23,153 miles over approximately four years. That equates to an average of 5,788 miles per year, a low figure for a Transit typically used commercially. The sparse history shows no rapid accumulation or missing intervals, but the limited dataset means previous owner usage patterns remain partly inferred. Light mileage often signals gentle duty or extended stationary periods rather than skipped basic upkeep. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs and brake calipers given the low use may mask binding from inactivity. The tester recorded no corrosion or structural concerns in 2025, yet underbody rust can develop on a vehicle left standing. Examine brake discs for lip and pitting, and verify tyre sidewalls for cracking despite adequate tread. Check exhaust emissions and drivetrain mounts during a road test, as the single clean MOT provides no longitudinal evidence of wear progression. The previous keeper presented the van for its first test with no flagged items, implying routine maintenance was addressed, but confirming structural integrity firsthand remains prudent before purchase.
