2012 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · WF62 AEE

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT in March 2026 at 165,675 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improvement following previous setbacks. While the vehicle suffered failures in both 2023 and 2024, the clean sheets on the subsequent tests indicate that the previous owner addressed and rectified the necessary mechanical issues to bring the van up to legal standards. At 165,675 miles over 14 years, the Transit averages approximately 11,834 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 8,600 miles covered between September 2023 and November 2024, and another 6,192 miles recorded between November 2024 and March 2026. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often helps prevent the degradation of seals and fuel in older engines. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most likely to have caused the previous failures, although the specific reasons for those failures are not detailed in this summary. Given the high mileage and age, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and wish arms is essential, as these are common wear points on the Transit platform. The inspector should also look for structural corrosion on the chassis sills and mounting points, as deep rust is the primary long-term concern for vehicles of this era regardless of a clean MOT history.
