2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CX64 ONM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While it passed its most recent test in August 2025 at 83,104 miles, this followed a significant failure just two days prior. That failure highlighted critical safety issues, including rear brake pads worn to metal and a severely worn disc, which prevented a full brake performance test. The trend suggests that mechanical components are only addressed when they reach a point of failure rather than being replaced during routine service intervals. The mileage pattern is consistent with a light-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between July 2024 and August 2025, the vehicle covered 2,726 miles, indicating a period of significantly reduced usage. However, the low mileage has not protected the vehicle from age-related degradation. The presence of corroded brake pipes and a rusting silencer in 2022 suggests the vehicle may sit for long periods, which often accelerates oxidation and the perishability of rubber components despite the low distance driven. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension, as the offside and nearside arm bushes were flagged as worn in three consecutive tests between 2023 and 2025. Although these did not cause a failure initially, the persistence of the fault indicates the bushes are nearing total collapse. The braking system also requires close scrutiny, specifically the condition of the brake pipes noted in 2022, to ensure corrosion has not progressed into structural thinning. Given the recent failure due to rear pads hitting metal, verifying the current thickness of all pads and the surface integrity of the discs is essential to ensure the repairs were performed correctly.
