2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · WX64 ARZ

The Ford Transit shows a stable roadworthiness trend, with the latest MOT on 26 April 2022 at 59,033 miles recording a pass and no defects. Prior tests back to May 2020 also returned passes with clean sheets, indicating no progressive mechanical deterioration in the official record. The two failures logged on 27 and 28 May 2021 at 55,318 miles carry no listed defects, an irregularity that does not signal worsening condition but warrants clarification. Mileage progression remains exceptionally low for a 2014 panel van. The record moves from 54,229 miles on 21 May 2020 to 55,325 miles on 28 May 2021, a gain of just over 1,000 miles in twelve months, then to 59,033 by April 2022. Such restrained accumulation implies light commercial use or extended periods off the road. Sparse testing history across three years limits deeper trend analysis, yet the absence of advisories suggests previous keepers met minimum statutory checks without overt neglect of critical items. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive components omitted from the MOT sheet. Examine suspension bushes, coil springs and brake discs for fatigue, and assess structural integrity and corrosion on chassis rails given the vehicle’s twelve years and likely standing periods. The tester noted no binding calipers or exhaust emissions faults, but low mileage can mask dormant rust. The unexplained 2021 failures with zero defects demand verification through DVSA channels before purchase. Previous owners maintained the van to pass standard, yet the anomalous entries prevent a wholly clean assurance. Targeted scrutiny of paperwork and underside condition will confirm the Transit’s true mechanical state.
