2012 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · WF62 ABV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2021-12-06 at 89,770 miles, resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, the preceding three tests between 2021-11-19 and 2021-11-30 ended in failure, all without recorded defects. This pattern suggests inconsistent compliance, potentially indicating unresolved issues or procedural errors during testing. The lack of specific fault details in these failures limits definitive diagnosis, but the repeated failures within a two-week window raise concerns about the vehicle’s mechanical stability during that period. The absence of recent MOT data beyond 2021 further complicates assessment, as no verification of current roadworthiness exists. The vehicle’s mileage of 89,770 miles over 14 years equates to an average of 6,412 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. However, the MOT history reveals no tests between 2020-11-27 (81,950 miles) and 2021-11-19 (89,357 miles), a gap of 12 months and 1,407 miles. This interval suggests potential neglect in scheduled inspections, which could have allowed minor issues to escalate. The abrupt shift from a pass in November 2020 to multiple failures in late 2021 without recorded defects implies possible undetected mechanical or structural degradation, though the data does not confirm this. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system, suspension components, and exhaust integrity, as these are common areas for failure in older vans. The absence of defect details in the MOT records necessitates a physical check for corrosion, worn suspension bushes, or binding calipers. Additionally, the vehicle’s structural integrity should be assessed, particularly given the lack of recent MOT verification. While the 2021 pass indicates temporary compliance, the sparse and inconsistent testing history underscores the need for a professional evaluation to confirm ongoing roadworthiness.
