2014 FORD TRANSIT2.2L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-29 at 158,882 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, a preceding test on 2026-01-26 at 158,877 miles showed a failure despite no defects being listed, suggesting a possible administrative error or unrecorded issue. The prior tests from 2022 to 2024 consistently passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past four years. The recent failure without recorded faults raises questions about the reliability of the testing process, but the subsequent pass suggests any issues were resolved. The vehicle’s mileage of 158,882 miles at 12 years old equates to approximately 13,240 miles annually, which is above average for its age. The MOT records show regular testing intervals, with the longest gap between 2024-11-06 (142,912 miles) and 2026-01-26 (158,877 miles), covering 15,965 miles over 14 months. This rapid accumulation suggests heavy usage, which could accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust systems. The absence of defects in most tests implies consistent upkeep, though the high mileage warrants scrutiny of mechanical endurance. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn coil springs or binding calipers, as high mileage often exacerbates these issues. The brake system, including discs and pads, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion. Structural integrity is not flagged in the records, but the vehicle’s age and mileage mean rust in hidden areas—such as underbody panels or chassis rails—could be a risk. Additionally, the failed MOT without defects highlights the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’sTrue condition beyond recorded data.
