2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · BX14 ACZ

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a history of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While the last recorded test passed in December 2021 at 87,847 miles, the vehicle has not undergone an MOT in over four years, leaving its current mechanical state unknown. The historical trend shows a persistent pattern of failing on multiple fronts including lighting, brakes, and suspension components, suggesting that the previous owners only addressed defects when necessary to pass testing rather than performing preventative servicing. The mileage pattern is relatively consistent for a twelve-year-old commercial, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. There is a significant gap in data following the December 2021 test, where the vehicle recorded 87,847 miles. Since the current recorded mileage remains 87,847 miles, the vehicle has remained stationary for years. This lack of testing records for the last forty-plus months is a major red flag as rubber-based components, fluids, and braking systems may have deteriorated due to age and inactivity despite low use. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the arm pins and bushes were flagged as worn or showing play in almost every test from 2019 through 2021. The power steering seepage noted in late 2021 requires a close check for active leaks that may have worsened during the period of stationary time. Additionally, the braking system shows a history of pitted discs, thin pads, and low parking brake efficiency, which should be tested for seized calipers or corroded lines resulting from the long period of non-use.
