2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AC02 RTC

The 2014 Ford Transit presents a current roadworthy status with a passed MOT dated 8 August 2024 at 107,028 miles, and the maintenance trend is stable with no recorded defects across the available history. The most recent pass followed a same-day failure on 8 August 2024 showing no defects logged, a pattern repeated on 22 to 23 August 2023 when a failure with no defects was corrected by a pass next day at 106,663 miles. These duplicate failure-pass pairs suggest administrative or presentation anomalies at the test centre rather than mechanical faults, as the tester recorded nothing against the vehicle on either attempt. The mileage pattern sits at roughly typical use for a twelve-year-old van. From the 22 July 2022 test at 106,282 miles, the record shows only 381 miles added by August 2023 and a further 365 miles to August 2024, leaving the van at 107,028 miles. Such low annual accumulation of under 200 miles per year since 2022 implies extended standing periods. Sparse clean records give little wear data, but long dormancy risks seized brake calipers, flat-spotted tyres, and corrosion on structural members and brake lines that a static vehicle suffers. A buyer should physically inspect the Transit for binding calipers and corroded brake discs from disuse, and check suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing while stationary. Examine the underbody and chassis rails for structural rust, and verify the exhaust emissions system remains sound after low running. Confirm the 2024 same-day fail-pass was a clerical matter, not a concealed defect, by reviewing the VT20 and VT30 documents with the selling garage.
