2012 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · TH09 TLH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent inspection on April 4, 2026 with no defects recorded. This follows a period of clean passes in the previous two years, suggesting that the mechanical condition currently meets the minimum legal standards. While a failure occurred in December 2023, the immediate retest success indicates that identified issues were addressed promptly before the vehicle returned to service. The mileage data indicates a high-usage pattern consistent with a commercial Ford Transit. The vehicle covered 32,290 miles between August 2022 and December 2023, representing a significant annual run of over 25,000 miles. By the time of the December 2023 test at 192,687 miles, the vehicle was already well into its operational life. The accumulation of mileage suggests heavy-duty application, which typically puts considerable strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. Given the high mileage and the age of the vehicle, a physical inspection must focus on structural integrity and common wear points for this model. The buyer should scrutinize the chassis for corrosion, particularly around the arches and suspension mounting points, as these are frequent areas of failure. Although the recent records show no defects, the high mileage necessitates a thorough check of suspension bushes, coil springs, and shocks for signs of fatigue. Examining the braking system for binding calipers or thin discs is also essential to ensure the recent clean MOT results reflect genuine mechanical health rather than a temporary state of compliance.
