2012 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · YR62 ADU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving trend in recent years. The most recent MOT test conducted on 25 August 2023 at 136,334 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and structural components met minimum standards at that time. While the history shows intermittent failures, the transition to clean passes in the last two tests suggests that the current owner is proactively addressing necessary repairs rather than allowing faults to accumulate. At 136,334 miles over 14 years, the Transit has averaged approximately 9,738 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, such as the 6,803 miles covered between August 2021 and August 2022, and another 2,171 miles between September 2022 and August 2023. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing stationary, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals, gaskets, and brake systems against corrosion-related issues. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that caused the failures in 2021 and 2022, although the specific defect codes were not listed in the summary. The recurring nature of failures suggests close attention to wear-sensitive items like suspension bushes or lighting components. Given the age and mileage of this Ford Transit, a thorough check of the chassis for structural rust, particularly around the door hinges and wheel arches, is essential. You should also inspect for fluid leaks or uneven tyre wear to ensure the recent clean MOT records reflect a well-maintained mechanical state.
