2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AF14 PLO

The 2014 Ford Transit presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at the most recent test on 12 May 2025 at 379,499 miles. Every MOT entry from 5 November 2021 through to the latest examination recorded a pass with no defects or advisories noted by the tester. The maintenance history shows no worsening faults, no recurring mechanical issues, and no structural or emissions concerns raised across the five-year span. Annual mileage sits high for a twelve-year-old van. The records show 305,163 miles at the November 2021 test, rising to 318,090 by June 2022, 328,153 by June 2023, 362,967 by June 2024, and 379,499 by May 2025. That equates to roughly 31,600 miles per year. The only irregularity is the 2021 test falling in November rather than June, leaving a seven-month gap versus the later yearly cadence, but the mileage progression remains steady with no sudden jumps. Given the absence of flagged advisories, the DVSA record alone implies the previous operators kept the suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, and exhaust emissions within test limits. A clean sheet across five tests at this mileage suggests basic upkeep was not skipped. The high annual distance, however, places heavy load on consumable and drivetrain parts not always visible in an MOT pass. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity beneath the chassis and wheel arches for corrosion, check the clutch and gearbox for wear from constant use, and measure brake caliper freedom and tyre condition. The MOT gives no cause for rejection, but 379,499 miles demands verification of mechanical fatigue the annual test does not capture.
