2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AE64 ODG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a successful re-test. The most recent inspection on 6 January 2026 at 96,001 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure earlier on the same day. This suggests a specific issue was identified and immediately rectified to meet minimum roadworthiness standards. Since that January pass, the vehicle currently meets all legal safety and environmental requirements without outstanding advisories. The mileage history shows a significant discrepancy between recorded testing periods. In September 2022, the vehicle recorded 114,611 miles, yet by September 2023, the mileage was recorded at only 46,854 miles. This indicates either an odometer replacement error or a clerical mistake in the DVSA database. Following that anomaly, the vehicle has seen consistent use, covering 28,274 miles by the November 2024 test and another 20,877 miles prior to the January 2026 test. This recent usage rate of approximately 10,000 miles per year is typical for a commercial vehicle of this age, but the massive drop in figures between 2022 and 2023 requires physical verification through service history records. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension components, as the record provides no specific mechanical advisories to reference. Given the initial failure and subsequent pass in January 2026, it is essential to ask the previous owner exactly what component caused the failure to ensure it was not a recurring mechanical weakness. On a Ford Transit of this age, check for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as well as the condition of suspension bushes and control arms, which frequently wear out near the 100,000-mile mark.
