2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AV14 GHG

The vehicle presents a strong roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT test in February 2026 at 146,834 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has consistently achieved clean passes since a brief failure in late 2023. The transition from a failure to three consecutive clean passes suggests that the previous owner was proactive in addressing identified issues rather than allowing mechanical faults to persist. The mileage data indicates a heavy commercial application, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year over its twelve-year lifespan. There is a significant surge in usage recorded between December 2023 and January 2025, where the vehicle covered over 32,000 miles in just 13 months. This rapid accumulation of mileage places considerable strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking components. However, the lack of advisories in the latest two tests suggests that the vehicle is handling this high-intensity duty cycle effectively. Given the high mileage and the nature of the vehicle, a physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of common wear points for a Transit of this age. Check for corrosion on the rear mounting points and the exhaust system, as these often degrade on high-mileage vans. You should also inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, as the high annual mileage typically accelerates rubber component failure. While the MOT record is currently clean, the high mileage means that components like brake discs and dampers are likely nearing the end of their functional life.
