Our Verdict
Exercise caution with this vehicle. Whil
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the chassis and sills, as the 2025 MOT explicitly mentions corrosion and old repairs in these areas. You should also verify if the oil leak noted in the May 2024 MOT has been professionally addressed.
Given the June 2026 MOT advisories, the vehicle currently requires attention to the front brake discs, front lower suspension arms, and multiple tyres. These represent immediate maintenance costs that should be used as leverage during price negotiations.
The 2.4L diesel engine is designed for durability and load-carrying, but it will incur higher road tax and insurance premiums than smaller Transit variants. Maintenance costs are expected to be higher than average due to the vehicle's age and high mileage.
Annual expenditure will be driven by fuel consumption and the need for frequent replacement of wear-and-tear items, as evidenced by the recurring brake and suspension advisories in the MOT history.
Carefully inspect the inner and outer sills for rust or poor-quality previous weld repairs, as flagged in the 2025 MOT. Check the front lower suspension arm bushes and the condition of the front brake discs, both of which were noted as worn in the most recent June 2026 test.
Examine all four tyres for uneven wear; the MOT history shows a consistent pattern of tyres wearing close to the legal limit on the inner or outer edges (2022, 2024, and 2026), which may indicate an ongoing alignment or suspension issue.
This 2012 white Ford Transit with a 2.4L diesel engine has covered 165,780 miles. The MOT history reveals a 2025 failure due to a seized parking brake caliper and recurring advisories regarding tyre wear and suspension components. Most significantly, the 2025 records highlight corrosion and previous repairs to the inner and outer sills.
The Ford Transit has an average MOT pass rate of 74.3%, with corrosion and tyre issues being among the most frequent reasons for failure across the model range.
