2022 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · R13 DBD

The 2022 Ford Transit presents a clean bill of health on its most recent MOT, having passed on 1 October 2025 at 47,518 miles with zero defects recorded. A single advisory-free pass indicates that all major structural, mechanical, and emissions components met DVSA standards at that time. With only one test on record, there is no trend of recurring faults to analyse, and the maintenance picture is stable rather than improving or worsening. The mileage trajectory is straightforward. The vehicle accumulated 47,518 miles over roughly three years and nine months, averaging approximately 11,880 miles per year. This sits squarely within the typical annual range for a commercial Transit and suggests consistent, regular use rather than prolonged standing or excessively high-intensity work. The MOT test date aligns with the recorded mileage, so there is no suspicious gap or sudden accumulation to flag. Buyers should still approach the vehicle with a thorough in-person inspection, as a clean MOT does not guarantee the absence of developing issues. Focus on the condition of the brake discs and pads, suspension bushes, and coil springs, which are common wear points on heavily used vans. Check the underside for any early signs of corrosion on the chassis, subframe, and suspension mounting points, as structural rust can develop quickly on commercial vehicles exposed to road salt and heavy loads. Pay close attention to the exhaust system and DPF condition, particularly if the van has been used for short urban trips that can cause soot buildup. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall condition uneven wear can point to alignment or suspension geometry faults not flagged during the test. Finally, test all electrical systems, including lights, indicators, and dashboard warning lamps, to confirm everything operates as expected beyond the snapshot provided by the MOT.
