2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · BX14 ABV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean MOT pass in February 2026 at 82,558 miles. This most recent result indicates that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed, as the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend shows improvement over the last three years, moving from a failed test in February 2024 involving multiple lighting, seat, and braking issues to a clean pass in the current cycle. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,880 miles per year. The records show steady progression from 54,665 miles in March 2017 to 82,558 miles in February 2026. This gradual increase suggests regular, predictable use rather than long periods of inactivity or heavy commercial overloading. The absence of significant mileage gaps indicates the vehicle has remained in active service throughout its lifespan. A prospective buyer should focus inspections on the braking system and chassis components. The February 2024 test flagged corroded brake pipes in the inner wheel arches and a pitted offside rear brake disc. While the 2025 test noted a non-excessive oil leak at 79,819 miles, the presence of corrosion in previous years suggests the underbody requires a thorough check for structural integrity and pipe degradation. Recurring issues with lighting and consumables, such as the registration plate lamps and tyre wear noted in 2018, 2019, and 2023, imply that minor electrical and maintenance tasks were occasionally deferred by previous owners. Although the most recent results are positive, a physical inspection of the brake lines, tyre sidewalls for cracking, and the engine area for any signs of the previously noted oil leak is recommended to ensure the vehicle remains in its current improved condition.
