2012 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · YR12 LCP

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean MOT pass on 13 July 2023 at 223,375 miles. This result indicates that the previous owner addressed the issues identified during the prior failures. However, the history shows a period of instability in mid-2022 where the vehicle failed two consecutive tests within two months before finally passing. Since that resolution, the vehicle has maintained a clean record without any further recorded defects. The mileage profile reflects heavy commercial usage consistent with a 14-year-old Transit, averaging approximately 16,000 miles annually. Between February 2021 and July 2022, the vehicle covered 22,453 miles, representing a peak period of over 22,000 miles per year. This rapid accumulation puts significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. The gap between the July 2023 test and the current date of June 2026 means the vehicle is now three years overdue for its annual test. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and chassis, as high-mileage commercial vans often suffer from accelerated corrosion in the sills and mounting points. Given the previous failures in 2022, specific attention should be paid to the suspension bushes, coil springs, and ball joints which wear rapidly under heavy loads. Because the last record is significantly outdated, the current state of the brake discs, pads, and tyres is unknown, and these components have likely undergone substantial wear since the 223,375-mile mark.
