2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · C1 SJS

The most recent MOT from October 2025 resulted in a pass, but only after failing on several significant safety items. The vehicle's condition trend is worsening, specifically regarding the chassis and steering components. A recurring and concerning pattern of brake pipe corrosion has been present since at least 2023. The fact that these pipes are repeatedly flagged as corroded or covered in grease suggests a persistent rust issue that has not been permanently resolved, posing a long-term safety risk. There is a clear decline in the front-end suspension and steering. What began as minor dust cover deterioration in 2023 progressed to actual play in the track rod ends and split ball joint covers by 2025. This indicates a steady degradation of the steering geometry and joint integrity. The mileage of 110,528 over 12 years is typical for this age. This suggests regular use, meaning wear on consumables and suspension components is expected, but it also explains the gradual deterioration of the underbody and joints. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the brake lines for deep corrosion and check the steering rack and suspension joints for any remaining play or perished boots.
