2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · BG14 XMA

The vehicle's MOT history shows an inconsistent pattern of compliance, characterized by repeated failures immediately preceding successful tests. The most recent recorded test on 6 January 2024 resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure on 5 January 2024. This pattern of failing one day and passing the next suggests that specific defects were identified and rectified quickly, though the exact nature of those faults remains undocumented in the provided record. The recorded mileage of 355,940 miles indicates heavy commercial use, averaging approximately 29,662 miles per year over the vehicle's 12-year lifespan. This high annual mileage increases the likely wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushes, and braking systems. The data shows a significant gap between the January 2022 test and the December 2022 test, followed by a further gap until the January 2024 tests. While the recent pass is a positive data point, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of all wear-and-tear components. A prospective buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the chassis and subframes for signs of structural corrosion, which is common in high-mileage commercial vehicles of this age. Given the history of failures just prior to passing, focus should be placed on the condition of the braking system, specifically checking for binding calipers or worn discs, and inspecting the suspension for perished rubber components or leaking dampers. The high mileage also warrants a close examination of the engine bay for oil leaks and a check of the exhaust system for excessive corrosion or mounting failures. buying_score: 55 risk_level: Medium.
