2014 Ford Transit Custom 270 ECO-Tech 2.2L Diesel · CX14 LCY

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status following a successful MOT on 28 August 2025 at 150,572 miles. While the most recent result shows no defects, the history reveals a period of instability immediately prior to this pass. The vehicle failed two tests within a ten-day window in August 2025 at 150,415 and 150,476 miles, suggesting a specific mechanical or emissions fault that required urgent rectification to achieve compliance. Since those repairs, the maintenance trend appears stable as the vehicle passed the subsequent inspection without issue. At 150,572 miles, this 2014 Ford Transit Custom has averaged approximately 12,500 miles per year, which indicates consistent and heavy commercial use rather than long periods of neglect. The data shows steady usage between the May 2023 test at 134,652 miles and the September 2024 test at 144,145 miles, covering roughly 10,000 miles in 16 months. The rapid accumulation of over 6,000 miles in the year leading up to the 2025 failures confirms the vehicle remains in high-frequency operation, which places significant stress on drivetrain and chassis components. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension geometry and braking system, as high-mileage vans often accelerate wear on bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers. Pay close attention to corrosion on the chassis members and floor pans, common for this age. Given the two failures in August 2025, it is essential to verify the specific reasons for those rejections to ensure the underlying issue was fully resolved rather than merely masked. Inspecting the turbocharger and exhaust system for oil leaks is also advisable given the high mileage profile of the EcoTech engine.
