2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CV64 GPK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing structural corrosion and suspension system degradation. The most recent test in September 2025 at 133,561 miles identified multiple advisories including corroded central front coil springs and a corroded offside front brake pipe. While the vehicle passed, the presence of corrosion on suspension components and worn arm bushes indicates that the lower chassis components are reaching the end of their functional life due to age and environmental exposure. At 133,561 miles over 12 years, this Transit has averaged approximately 11,130 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a commercial vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent use, with roughly 1,270 miles covered between the October 2024 and September 2025 tests, and nearly 8,500 miles in the year preceding that. This steady accumulation of mileage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which explains the gradual wear seen on consumable rubber parts and metal hardware. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension, specifically checking the recurring wear in the suspension arm bushes which were flagged in both 2022 and 2025. The corroded brake pipe noted in September 2025 requires immediate attention, as rust on hydraulic lines can lead to sudden failure if left unaddressed. Furthermore, the previous history of pitted brake discs and distorted wheels in 2022 suggests that the braking system and wheel assemblies should be inspected for uneven wear or structural fatigue that may not have been fully rectified by basic repairs.
