2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · KX14 AED

The 2014 Ford Transit presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 13 October 2025 at 141,046 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in 2023 and 2022 also passed cleanly. The only anomaly sits in the 2 August 2024 entry, where the vehicle failed and passed on the same day at 133,519 miles with no defects logged, indicating an administrative or data-recording error rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation tracks typical light-commercial use across the recorded span. The van covered 103,824 miles by 14 July 2022, rose to 119,596 by 20 July 2023, then 133,519 by 2 August 2024, reaching 141,046 by October 2025. That equates to roughly 11,754 miles per year against its twelve-year life, with no standing gaps or sudden accumulation spikes. The clean advisory-free history across five years suggests previous operators kept consumables and core systems within test limits, though sparse commentary means worn suspension bushes or corroding brake discs may simply have escaped notation. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT record shows no advisories that would confirm rust treatment or chassis condition. Given Transit platforms of this era suffer spring seat fatigue and rear axle mounting degradation, examine coil springs and subframe mounts directly. Verify brake disc thickness and caliper operation despite the absence of binding or imbalance flags in the data. The same-day fail-pass in August 2024 warrants a DVSA history check to confirm no suppressed defect. Otherwise the documented pattern implies disciplined upkeep, and the van warrants consideration provided a physical appraisal confirms the unseen mechanical items above.
