2012 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · WF62 AHA

The 2012 Ford Transit presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT test on 2026-03-30 at 135,216 miles, which resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a failure on 2026-03-26 at 135,215 miles, though no defects were logged for either test. The prior tests in 2024 and 2023 also showed passes with no issues, indicating a consistent maintenance pattern. The vehicle’s mechanical state appears to meet legal standards, though the consecutive failures in early 2026 without recorded faults raise questions about potential transient issues or administrative errors. The mileage of 135,216 miles over 14 years aligns with average annual usage of ~9,658 miles, suggesting typical wear for its age. The MOT records show irregular intervals between tests, with a 14-month gap between the 2024-11-27 pass (128,101 miles) and the 2026-03-30 pass. This gap, combined with the lack of defects in recent tests, implies the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets regulatory requirements. However, the sparse data from 2023-12-04 (116,435 miles) to 2024-11-27 (128,101 miles) offers limited insight into intermediate maintenance trends. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time without immediate visible defects. The absence of recorded brake-related issues is reassuring, but a physical inspection of brake discs, calipers, and pads is recommended to confirm their integrity. Structural rust or corrosion, especially in the chassis or body panels, should also be checked, as these can develop gradually and evade MOT scrutiny. The vehicle’s history suggests no major mechanical failures, but a thorough pre-purchase inspection is essential to confirm its ongoing reliability.
