2012 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · SC53 CBS

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 29 January 2026 at 124,721 miles with no recorded defects. This represents a stable maintenance trend, as the vehicle has successfully addressed previous issues identified in earlier tests. The recent transition from failures to clean passes suggests that the current owner is proactive in rectifying faults once they are flagged rather than allowing them to persist across multiple testing cycles. At 14 years old, the recorded 124,721 miles represent an average of approximately 8,900 miles per year. This figure aligns closely with typical usage patterns for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent use between test intervals, with roughly 9,500 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 7,600 miles between February 2025 and January 2026. This regular operation suggests the vehicle has not been sidelined for long periods, which helps prevent internal seals from drying or brake seizing. While the most recent record is clean, the failures in February 2024 and February 2025 indicate that the vehicle is prone to components that require frequent attention. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common points of failure on Transits of this mileage. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the chassis sills members and floor pans is essential to ensure that hidden rust has not developed beyond what the MOT tester may have observed. Checking for signs of binding calipers or uneven wear on the brake discs will ensure the repairs made following previous failures remain effective.
