2022 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · MV22 AEG

The vehicle's recent MOT history indicates a worsening maintenance trend, evidenced by a significant failure in May 2026. While the vehicle passed without defects in May 2025 at 32,565 miles, the most recent test on 13 May 2026 at 41,723 miles resulted in a failure for several mechanical and electrical issues. Although the vehicle passed a retest shortly after at 41,730 miles, the transition from a clean record to multiple failures suggests a sudden lapse in routine upkeep or the natural end of service life for several consumable components. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage for a four-year-old commercial vehicle. The vehicle covered 9,165 miles between May 2025 and May 2026, which aligns with the overall average of approximately 10,432 miles per year. This steady usage pattern suggests the vehicle has been in regular service rather than sitting idle, which explains why components like tyres and brake pads have reached their wear limits simultaneously. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The May 2026 failure highlighted excessive wear in the rear anti-roll bar linkage pins and bushes, and while the retest noted them as merely worn, they remain a point of concern for future stability. The tester also flagged thin brake pads on both the front and rear during the initial failure. You must verify that the replacement pads were fitted correctly and check the condition of the brake discs for scoring or uneven wear. The electrical and fluid systems also require scrutiny. The May 2026 failure included an inoperative engine Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) and a non-functional windscreen washer. While these were addressed for the pass, the MIL issue is critical as it can mask serious engine management faults. Finally, the recurring advisories regarding tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges suggest a possible alignment issue that warrants professional investigation to prevent premature replacement of new rubber.
