2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AV64 FVA

The vehicle presents an inconsistent maintenance history, despite the most recent MOT test in April 2026 at 128,456 miles returning with no defects. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. However, the record shows a period of recurring wear on the suspension and braking systems between 2021 and 2025. The tester flagged worn bushes on front suspension arms and corroded rear brake pipes during the 2025 test, which followed a report of a corroded front brake pipe and a leaking rear shock absorber in 2023. At an average of approximately 10,700 miles per year, the usage is typical for a twelve-year-old Transit, suggesting regular operation rather than long periods of neglect. The mileage progression is steady, though the gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests shows a slight drop in annual mileage compared to other years. The failure in 2019 at 72,991 miles for a split CV boot and poor wiper performance highlights a stage where the owner may have only addressed faults after a failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. A buyer should pay close attention to the rear brake lines and suspension components. While the 2026 test was clean, the history of multiple brake pipe corrosion issues suggests that environmental salding is a known factor for this vehicle's under. The front suspension arm bushes noted in 2025 indicate that components are nearing the end of their service life. A physical inspection of the chassis for further structural corrosion around the brake pipe mounts and a check of the current state of the CV boots and ball joints is advisable before purchase.
