2012 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · X666 ABC

The 2025‑10‑15 MOT at 156,032 miles resulted in a pass, yet the vehicle’s maintenance record shows a consistent pattern of recurring advisories rather than a stable or improving condition. The recent test repeats many of the same defects seen in the 2024‑10‑30 failure, indicating that previous remedial actions have not eliminated the underlying wear. Mileage has risen from 94,962 miles in the 2018 test to 156,032 miles in 2025, an average of about 11,145 miles per year, with incremental gains of roughly 6,800–8,800 miles between each test, confirming regular usage and no long periods of standing. Recurring faults include front anti‑roll bar ball joints with slight play, worn suspension arm pins and bushes, split constant‑velocity boots on the front drive shafts, corroded and greasy brake pipes, and repeatedly pitted or scored brake discs, all of which can compromise braking efficiency or steering stability; tyre cuts and wear approaching legal limits also appear in multiple tests, while headlamp and stop‑lamp failures point to electrical or mounting issues that affect visibility and safety. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the anti‑roll bar joints, suspension components, CV boots, brake lines and discs, tyre tread and sidewalls, and all lamp assemblies, and verify that any corrosion on structural or fluid‑carrying parts has been addressed before purchase.
