2022 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · YP22 VCN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to upkeep. While the most recent test on 14 May 2026 at 37,337 miles passed, it followed a failure just one month prior at 36,386 miles. The trend shows a pattern of recurring electrical and consumable failures, suggesting that the owner only addresses faults when they threaten an MOT certificate rather than performing preventative maintenance between service intervals. At 37,337 miles over four years, the Ford Transit averages approximately 9,300 miles per year, which is consistent with typical commercial use for a light van. However, there is a significant gap of 12,475 miles between the April 2025 and April 2026 tests. This rapid accumulation in a single year, combined with the repeated failures for thin brake pads and worn tyres in early 2026, indicates the vehicle has been under heavy use recently, which has accelerated the wear on friction-critical components. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front braking system, as both the nearside and offside pads were flagged as wearing thin in the May 2026 test. The nearside rear tyre was noted as being close to the legal limit and showing edge wear, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. The repeated repeated mention of the chassis and underside being covered in mud across multiple 2026 tests is a concern, as it prevents a clear view of structural integrity or early-stage corrosion. The electrical system also requires scrutiny given the multiple failures involving side repeaters, headlamp aim, and registration plate lamps over the last two years. While these were rectified for the latest pass, the frequency of these faults suggests potential issues with wiring looms or bulb housings. Ensure the offside obligatory mirror is properly secured, as it has been a noted defect advisory since at least April 2026.
