2012 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · YM12 DRZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection on 17 June 2025 with 81,323 miles and no defects recorded. While the history shows a failure just four days prior to that pass, the immediate rectification suggests a minor issue was addressed quickly rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The lack of advisories across the last three tests indicates that the vehicle has maintained its mechanical and structural integrity throughout the current inspection period. The mileage profile is notably low for a 14-year-old Transit, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage, with the vehicle traveling 2,467 miles between June 2023 and June 2024, and a similar interval in the following year. This low annual mileage typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though low-mileage vehicles of this age can sometimes suffer from degradation of rubber-based components and brake systems if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension mounting points, as Transits of this era are prone to corrosion regardless of mileage. Given the clean MOT record, the primary risks are age-related, such as perished suspension bushes, degraded brake hoses, or seized calipers that may not have triggered a standard test failure despite low use. The buyer should also verify the condition of the tyres to ensure the low mileage has not resulted in flat-spot or cracked sidewalls.
