2012 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · SE12 AAF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the clean result of its most recent MOT inspection. The final test conducted in October 2022 at 101,748 miles showed no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met the minimum safety standards at that time. While the history shows intermittent failures in previous years, these were followed by passes, suggesting that identified issues were rectified promptly prior to the re-tests. The' pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,268 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in recorded data between September 2021 and October 2022, where the vehicle covered over 11,000 miles in just thirteen months. However, there has been no recorded mileage activity since late 2022, meaning the vehicle has either sat stationary for several years or is currently unregistered. This lapse in testing increases the likelihood of rubber degradation, fluid breakdown, and mechanical seizure, despite the relatively low odometer reading. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on structural integrity and suspension components which are common on Ford Transit models of this era. Given the gap in testing history, a thorough check for surface rust, sills corrosion, and perished rubber hoses is essential. Furthermore, the braking system and tyres should be examined for age, as long-term storage often leads to seized calipers or flat spots that would not necessarily be captured in a historical digital log.
