2014 FORD TRANSIT CUSTOM 270 ECO-TECH2.2L Diesel

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following the October 2024 test, with the most recent pass recorded on 2024-10-25 at 191,702 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the record is sparse and lacks advisory notes that would normally reveal developing wear. A failed test on 2024-10-20 at 196,325 miles was logged with no defects recorded, an irregularity that suggests an administrative or data-entry anomaly rather than a genuine mechanical fault. Mileage data shows inconsistent reporting across the history. The February 2021 entry lists 1,217,721 miles, a clear clerical error against the 46,002 miles logged in March 2019 and the 150,118 miles in October 2022. From October 2022 to October 2024 the van covered roughly 41,584 miles, equating to about 20,790 annual miles, above the 15,975 per-year average for its age. Such high commercial use accelerates wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushes, and brake discs. Given the absence of recorded advisories across all tests, a buyer should not assume fault-free condition. The clean MOT slate at 191,702 miles on a twelve-year-old high-mileage Transit Custom warrants in-person checks of structural corrosion on chassis rails and sills, front coil springs, and rear suspension bushes. Inspect brake calipers for binding and measure disc thickness, as these items degrade silently without tester flags on a pass. Verify the true odometer reading against the 2021 anomaly before purchase. Confirm service history covers the cam belt and dual-mass flywheel, both common failure points on high-mileage Eco-Tech diesel units. The lack of failures beyond the unexplained 2024 entry implies basic upkeep was maintained, but physical inspection remains essential at this mileage.
