2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AA02 HAA

The 2014 Ford Transit presents a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 22 October 2025 at 112,712 miles with zero defects recorded. The record exhibits an anomaly in September 2024 when the vehicle failed twice on 25 September at 104,865 miles despite no defects being listed. This discrepancy suggests either an administrative error or an aborted test, yet the subsequent pass on 30 September 2024 at 104,911 miles with no faults indicates the underlying mechanical condition met the required standard shortly thereafter. The current roadworthiness status is sound based on the latest DVSA data. The recorded mileage aligns with typical commercial use for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,393 miles annually. Between the September 2023 test at 94,800 miles and the September 2024 tests at 104,865 miles, the Transit covered 10,065 miles over twelve months. The mileage then plateaued, accumulating only 7,801 miles between September 2024 and the October 2025 test. This recent drop in annual mileage could indicate lighter use or extended periods of standing, which requires checking for deterioration of consumables like rubber suspension bushes and brake components that degrade through inactivity. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection must focus on structural integrity and common wear areas for panel vans of this mileage. Examine the chassis and outrongs for corrosion, particularly around the rear wheel arches and sliding door mechanisms. The 2024 failure without recorded defects remains unexplained, so verifying the condition of the braking system and steering components is prudent to rule out intermittent faults like binding calipers or worn track rod ends. Inspect the coil springs and suspension bushes for cracking, and check the exhaust system for leaks, as commercial vehicles often suffer from fatigue in these areas even when passing emissions tests.
