2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · BD64 RTU

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in immediate consumable upkeep. The most recent test on January 20 2026 at 89,648 miles resulted in advisories for both the nearside and offside front tyres being near the legal limit and showing edge wear. This indicates a lapse in proactive tyre management compared to the clean sheet recorded during the January 2025 test. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles annually. Between January 2022 at 72,203 miles and January 2026 at 89,648 miles, the vehicle covered 17,445 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 4,360 miles per year. This lower accumulation suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy commercial loads, which typically accelerates the age-related degradation of rubber components and bushings despite the low odometer reading. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment, as the edge wear noted in the 2026 test often stems from worn suspension bushes or incorrect tracking geometry. While the 2024 record noted a smooth brake pedal, a physical check of the brake discs for thinning or caliper binding is necessary given the vehicle's age. Given the age of the Transit, a thorough inspection for structural integrity and corrosion on the sills and members remains vital, as the MOT history has not yet flagged any structural failures to date.
