2014 FORD TRANSIT2.2L Diesel

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy following a failed MOT test on 15 June 2026 at 151,051 miles. The maintenance trend is worsening, moving from a clean pass in 2025 to multiple critical failures involving the braking system and engine emissions. The recent failure identified a corroded offside front brake pipe and a heavily pitted offside rear brake disc, alongside exhaust emissions exceeding manufacturer limits. These failures suggest a significant lapse in preventative maintenance compared to the previous year's record. At 151,051 miles over twelve years, this Ford Transit has covered a high average of approximately 12,600 miles per year. The data shows a notable surge in usage recently, with 26,622 miles recorded between December 2023 and June 2026. This rapid accumulation of mileage on a commercial vehicle of this age places heavy strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, which is evidenced by the recurring reports of thin brake pads and lipped discs noted in the 2023 and 2024 tests. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the history shows a persistent pattern of neglecting pads and discs. The presence of a corroded brake pipe is a serious safety concern that indicates environmental corrosion may be affecting the hydraulic lines. Furthermore, the 2022 advisory regarding a worn nearside front suspension arm bush should be re-checked to ensure the wear has not progressed given the high-mileage. The emissions failure requires a diagnostic check to rule out fuel injector issues, turbocharger wear, or faulty sensors that could indicate deeper engine-related faults.
