2014 FORD TRANSIT2.2L Diesel

The vehicle demonstrates a highly stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by five consecutive clean MOT passes with zero recorded defects or advisories. The most recent test on 29 September 2025 at 173,965 miles confirms the van remains in a compliant state, suggesting a diligent approach to preventative maintenance by the previous keepers. This consistent lack of failures indicates that mechanical systems, including the braking and steering components, have been monitored effectively over the last five years. Accumulating 173,965 miles over a twelve-year lifespan results in an average of approximately 14,500 miles per annum, which is typical for a commercial vehicle of this class. The mileage progression shows a notable increase between October 2023 and October 2024, where the vehicle covered roughly 12,000 miles, followed by a slower accumulation of 4,764 miles leading up to the September 2025 inspection. This pattern reflects active, consistent use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity, which often helps prevent the issues associated with seized components or perished rubber seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on high-wear areas that fall outside the scope of a standard MOT, specifically the condition of the clutch and dual-mass flywheel, which are common failure points on high-mileage Transit models. While the test history is spotless, the age and heavy-duty nature of the chassis necessitate a thorough check for surface corrosion on the underside, particularly around the rear leaf spring hangers and crossmembers. Given the high total mileage, verify the service history for evidence of timing belt or chain replacements, as these critical internal components do not appear in the DVSA test data but are essential for long-term engine reliability.
