2012 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · YS12 CVV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. While it passed the most recent test in June 2025 at 152,608 miles, this followed a failure just three miles prior artwork to a split nearside front CV boot and DPF tampering. The persistent presence of a non-excessive oil leak across multiple tests from 2024 to 2025 indicates a long-term weeping seal that has not yet been professionally rectified. The mileage profile is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year over its 14-year lifespan. There is a significant cluster of activity recorded between March 2024 and June 2025, where the vehicle covered only 172 miles but underwent three test inspections. This suggests a period of low usage or specific trips intended to resolve mechanical faults. The gap between the March 2023 and March 2024 tests shows normal accumulation of 577 miles, which provides little data on wear on the drivetrain or braking components. A prospective buyer must address several recurring mechanical concerns identified in the history. The exhaust diesel particulate filter has been cut open for cleaning on multiple occasions; the buyer should verify that the filter was properly reinstalled and currently meets emissions standards. Furthermore, the steering rack showed play in the offside front inner joints in 2024, which should be re-checked to ensure the condition has not worsened. The history of ABS and ESC faults, alongside low brake efficiency in 2024, necessitates a thorough test of the electronic braking system and the parking brake mechanism to ensure these systems are fully functional.
