2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · EY14 AAN

The vehicle's recent MOT history indicates a stable maintenance trend, with the most recent test on 20 October 2025 at 150,674 miles resulting in a clean pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed its tests in October 2024 and October 2025, these failures were resolved quickly, as evidenced by the subsequent passes. The absence of advisories in the most recent entry suggests that the immediate mechanical and structural integrity met the required standards at the time of testing. The mileage accumulation is significant for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,556 miles per year. The jump from 129,020 miles in October 2023 to 140,823 miles in October 2024, and finally to 150,674 miles in October 2025, shows a consistent and heavy usage pattern. This high annual mileage places increased stress on heavy-duty components such as the suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain. The consistent annual testing suggests the owner has maintained a regular inspection schedule despite the heavy workload. Given the high mileage and the nature of a Ford Transit, a physical inspection should focus on wear-related components that often escape MOT scrutiny. You should closely examine the underside for signs of structural corrosion, particularly on the chassis and subframes, as high-mileage commercial vehicles are prone to heavy oxidation. Inspect the suspension system for perished rubber components and check the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, which can occur with frequent heavy loading. The drivetrain and steering assembly also require scrutiny. Check for any signs of fluid leaks from the engine or gearbox and listen for knocks or rattles that might indicate worn steering linkages or shock absorbers. While the MOT records show no current defects, the high mileage makes a thorough check of the timing belt and water pump essential, as these are critical maintenance items that typically require replacement on this engine type well before reaching 150,000 miles.
