2014 Ford Unknown 2.2L Diesel · AE14 DNJ

The vehicle presents a stable and highly consistent maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 29 March 2025 at 86,274 miles. No defects were recorded during this inspection, indicating the vehicle met all required safety and emissions standards on the first attempt. The maintenance trajectory remains firmly stable, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues appearing across the recorded history. Note that as of July 2026, this MOT certificate has expired, meaning a new test will be required before the vehicle can be legally driven on public roads. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,190 miles per year. A notable plateau appears between the October 2023 test at 86,233 miles and the March 2025 test at 86,274 miles, representing a mere 41 miles over approximately seventeen months. Prior to this stagnation, the vehicle covered 4,944 miles between the June 2021 and July 2022 tests, and 965 miles between July 2022 and October 2023. The recent ultra-low mileage accumulation suggests the vehicle has either been standing for long periods or used only for very short, localized trips. Despite the clean MOT record, the anomaly of a failed test on 21 June 2021 at 80,324 miles—where no defects were recorded alongside a pass on the same day—warrants a brief review of the vehicle's documentation to clarify whether this was a same-day retest or an administrative discrepancy. Given the recent ultra-low mileage, a physical inspection must focus on the risks associated with prolonged static periods. Buyers should closely examine the condition of the tyres for flat-spotting and sidewall perishing, and check the brake discs for surface corrosion that can develop when a car stands unused. Suspension bushes and seals may also have dried out, so a thorough assessment of the undercarriage and a test drive to identify any binding brakes or dampers are essential before purchase.
