FORD TRANSIT2014 · 2.2L DIESEL

The vehicle holds a current pass dated 4 November 2025 at 127,199 miles yet the maintenance trend is worsening. The test on 31 October 2025 failed on excessive brake pipe corrosion, nearside front driveshaft joint wear, electronic stability control fault, and incomplete emissions. A subsequent retest four days later cleared those defects but left corroded front brake pipes and edge worn offside front and rear tyres as advisories. Recurring corrosion and delayed tyre replacement show a pattern of minimal intervention. Recorded mileage rose from 102,062 in July 2023 to 115,115 by September 2024 then to 127,199 by October 2025. That spread equates to around 12,000 miles per year, typical for a twelve year old Transit. No rapid accumulation or dormant gaps appear across the supplied entries, though tests before 2023 are absent. Steady use accounts for expected consumable wear but not the persistent brake pipe degradation. A buyer should physically inspect the full brake pipe route, especially front to rear sections that drew excessive corrosion failure in October 2025. The tester flagged nearside front track rod end play and offside rear brake pad thickness under 1.5 mm; verify rectification and recheck steering rack inner joints noted in 2023. Examine nearside front constant velocity boot and driveshaft for splits or play. Measure rear brake discs scored during the 2025 failure. Tyre neglect is evident. Offside front and rear tyres wore close to legal limit in both 2024 and 2025, implying deferred replacement. An oil leak recorded in 2024 remains a minor advisory; trace its source on inspection. The engine malfunction lamp and stability control warning from the 2025 failure need diagnostic proof of permanent clearance. The record suggests reactive rather than preventative ownership.
