2012 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · NL62 SYT

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection on 16 September 2024 at 134,182 miles with no recorded defects. While the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes, the vehicle consistently meets the minimum standard for road use. This suggests that the previous owners are proactive in addressing issues once they are flagged by a tester, rather than allowing faults to accumulate into mechanical degradation or structural failure. The mileage progression is consistent with a fourteen-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 9,584 miles per year. Between the September 2022 test at 123,064 miles and the September 2024 test at 134,182 miles, the vehicle covered 11,118 miles. This steady usage indicates the van has not been subjected to long periods of stationary storage which can lead to perished seals or seized components, nor has it been excessively overworked. The consistent annual mileage suggests a regular operational schedule. Despite the clean pass on the latest record, the recurring failures in 2023 and 2024 occurring just one or two miles before the recorded pass indicate that the vehicle frequently operates on the edge of compliance limits. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, wish arms, and coil springs, as these are common points of wear on Transits. Given the age and mileage, checking the chassis for structural corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points is essential to ensure that no hidden rust has compromised the integrity of the frame.
