2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · BD63 YOL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs and recurring mechanical neglect. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 67,953 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a significant failure just eight days prior. The record shows a pattern where known faults, such as worn brake components and suspension bushes, are flagged across multiple years without being rectified, suggesting that the owner only addresses issues when necessary to pass the MOT test rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old Ford Transit, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. However, the data indicates long periods of stagnation; for instance, the vehicle covered only 10 miles between January 2024 and July 2025, and just 10 miles in the preceding year. This low-use pattern often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, which is evidenced by the recurring reports of perishing nearside tyres and worn suspension arm bushes despite the relatively low total distance driven. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the offside rear brake system, which was flagged for excessive corrosion in the July 2025 failure. The persistent presence of pitted brake discs and thin rear pads since at least 2023 indicates a lack of attention to braking efficiency. Furthermore, the offside rear oil leak has been a constant advisory for three years, requiring a professional assessment to determine if the source is a minor seal or a developing structural failure. The front suspension should also be checked for lateral play, as the offside arm bushes were noted as worn in the most recent inspection.
