2012 Ford Transit 125 T350 RWD Heavy oil · WX62 BDY

The 2012 Ford Transit 125 T350 RWD holds a valid MOT, passing its most recent test on 13 June 2023 with zero defects recorded. That clean result is encouraging, yet the maintenance trend is difficult to characterise as stable or improving because the record is sparse and the preceding entries are highly unusual. Between 5 June and 10 June 2023, the vehicle failed three consecutive tests, each showing zero miles recorded and no defects listed. These entries suggest administrative re-tests or system anomalies rather than genuine mechanical failures, but the lack of documented faults leaves no diagnostic trail to analyse. The mileage picture is similarly opaque. The only recorded figure is 108,169 miles at the 14 May 2019 pass, giving a snapshot of roughly 108,000 miles after approximately seven years of life. No subsequent mileage was logged, including during the 2023 tests where each entry shows zero miles. Without a credible annualised mileage progression, it is impossible to confirm whether the van has been standing idle, lightly used, or if odometer readings have simply not been captured. The gap between May 2019 and June 2023 spans over four years with no intermediate data, which is a significant blind spot for a commercial vehicle of this age. A buyer should treat the MOT record as a thin veneer rather than a reliable maintenance history. The clean June 2023 pass offers no substitute for a physical inspection. Pay close attention to structural corrosion on the chassis, outriggers, and sills, as Transits of this era are prone to rust in load-bearing areas. Check the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for wear or leaks, and inspect the braking system thoroughly, including calipers for binding and discs for uneven wear, given the repeated brake-related test activity in June 2023. Examine tyre condition and age, as prolonged inactivity can cause perishing even with good tread depth. Verify engine and gearbox operation under load, and inspect the exhaust system for corrosion or emissions deterioration, particularly if the van has been standing for extended periods.
