2014 Ford Transit Custom 2.2L Diesel · BN64 EXJ

The Ford Transit Custom passed its most recent MOT on 24 March 2025 at 165,733 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy at test. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with each pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories logged on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. Mileage sits at 165,733 against a 2014 build, averaging roughly 13,800 miles per year, which is high for the age and points to steady commercial use. The record jumps from 127,548 miles at the 27 September 2022 test to 148,931 at the 9 January 2024 failure, then 148,945 on the pass a day later, before reaching 165,733 by March 2025. A gap of over fifteen months between 2022 and early 2024 leaves the intervening wear undocumented. The DVSA data itself is sparse and clean, with no minor consumable items or serious mechanical risks flagged at any stage. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass pairs on 9 to 10 January 2024 and 24 March 2025, both with no defects recorded, suggest administrative or presentation issues at test rather than rectified faults. This pattern implies previous operators may have presented the van without correct paperwork or minor prep, though no binding calipers, coil springs, or structural integrity concerns appear in the entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural rust, suspension arms, and brake condition given the mileage and the undocumented 2022 to 2024 period. The clean MOT trail offers no evidence of neglect, but high annual use on a Transit Custom demands verification of clutch wear, drivetrain noise, and tyre sidewall condition beyond the official record.
