2012 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · YS62 LGE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent testing history. The most recent inspection conducted on 11 March 2024 at 101,403 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle met all safety and environmental standards. While the record shows a failure just six days prior to that test, the subsequent retest suggests the owner was proactive in addressing any identified issues immediately to maintain road legality. The mileage pattern is consistent with a light-duty-use profile, averaging approximately 7,243 miles per year. The vehicle covered 5,350 miles between October 2022 and March 2024, showing a period of relatively regular use. There is a notable gap in data between the October 2022 failure and March 2023 pass, during which the vehicle covered only 300 miles in over five months. This low annual mileage for a Transit of this age often suggests less mechanical wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage fleet vehicles. Despite the clean result of the most recent MOT, a buyer must focus on the structural integrity and common failure points of this model. The recorded failures in October 2022 and March 2024 without specific defect descriptions in this summary necessitate a physical inspection of the chassis for corrosion, particularly around the subframes and suspension mounting points. Given the vehicle's age, the inspector should also check for perished rubber components and signs of weeping from the brake calipers, as these are common areas where degradation occurs even on low-mileage examples.
