2012 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · SD62 JCU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean MOT record since its last failure. The most recent test on 16 January 2026 at 183,129 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum legal standards. This follows a period of three consecutive passes without any advisories or failure points, suggesting that the current owner is addressing the necessary mechanical requirements to keep the van in roadworthy condition. At 183,129 miles, this Ford Transit has covered a significant distance, averaging approximately 13,000 miles per year. The mileage data shows consistent usage over the years, with 4,722 miles recorded between January 2025 and January 2026, and another 4,766 miles between June 2023 and January 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly for commercial duties rather than sitting idle, which typically results in better preservation of the drivetrain and braking components despite the high inherent wear on suspension-related parts over the fourteen-year lifespan. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most susceptible to high-mileage stress in commercial vans. While the MOT history is currently clean, the failure in June 2022 indicates that the vehicle previously required repairs to meet standards. Particular attention should be paid to the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points for corrosion, as well as the condition of the suspension bushes, dampers, and springs. Given the high mileage, checking for oil leaks around the engine and evaluating the thickness of the brake discs and pads is essential to ensure that the consistent use has not led to imminent mechanical failure.
