2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · W12 GDH

This 2014 Ford Transit has covered 126,359 miles, which is roughly 10,530 miles per year. This is typical usage for a vehicle of this age, suggesting a standard balance of wear on consumable components and drivetrain elements. The most recent MOT from August 2025 was a pass, but the history reveals a worrying pattern of recurring mechanical issues. There is a clear trend of neglect regarding tyres and suspension components. Both front tyres have been flagged as worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges in multiple consecutive tests. Suspension bushes and anti-roll bar components have also appeared repeatedly, indicating that while some items are being addressed, the vehicle's underlying wear is persistent. The condition trend appears to be worsening or, at best, unstable. While the 2024 MOT was clean, the subsequent failures in early 2024 and late 2025 show a return of significant issues. Most concerning is the recent report of a corroded offside front brake pipe covered in grease or other material. This is a safety-critical item that suggests either poor maintenance or an attempt to mask corrosion.
