2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CX64 ONG

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift towards developing wear-related defects as the mileage climbs. The most recent test in January 2025 at 206,261 miles identified worn bushes on both front suspension arm pins. This follows a failure in February 2024 regarding a severely deteriorated offside outer drive shaft CV boot. While the vehicle has consistently passed, the frequency of mechanical advisories indicates that components are now reaching the end of their functional life due to heavy usage. The mileage profile reflects intensive operation, averaging approximately 17,000 miles per year over its twelve-year life. There was a significant surge of 21,737 miles recorded between December 2022 and February 2024, followed by another 19,956 miles between February 2024 and January 2025. This high rate of annual accumulation suggests the Transit has been used for heavy commercial work, likely placing constant strain on the drivetrain and suspension assembly, which explains the recurring issues with rubber components like bushes and bushes. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the front end to determine if the worn bushes noted in 2025 have progressed into excessive movement which would affect steering precision and tyre wear. The CV shaft boot flagged in 2024 should be checked for grease leakage, as failure to replace leads to imminent joint failure. Given the history of a fluctuating nearside rear brake in 2021, a thorough brake test is required to ensure the discs are not excessively thinned or the calipers seizing due to the high-mileage environment.
