2012 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · YS12 FKB

This 2012 Ford Transit has maintained a consistent roadworthiness record over the past four MOT cycles, all passing without defects or advisories. The most recent test on 2025-06-17, at 136,620 miles, confirms no mechanical or structural failures, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in stable condition through regular servicing. The absence of recurring issues across four annual tests indicates no obvious pattern of neglect or deferred maintenance. However, the lack of advisories or defects does not preclude wear beyond MOT scope—particularly in areas like suspension bushes, coil springs, or drivetrain components—which would require a thorough inspection. The mileage progression of approximately 11,435 miles per year (136,620 - 125,185 over 2024-2025) aligns with the vehicle’s age and typical usage patterns. There are no significant gaps or abrupt jumps in mileage, and the recorded figures are consistent with moderate commercial or light-duty operation. The regular annual intervals between tests further imply the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than stored, which reduces the risk of stagnant fluid degradation or seized components. Still, the absence of service records means some maintenance intervals may have been overlooked. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension components—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Binding brakes, which are common in older vans, should be tested for uneven wear or caliper sticking, especially if the vehicle has been used for heavy loads. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, warrants scrutiny for corrosion, as does the exhaust system for leaks or rust-through. While the MOT record suggests no immediate failures, these areas are critical for long-term reliability and should not be assumed to be in perfect condition.
