2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CX64 WWS

This Ford Transit has maintained an exceptionally clean MOT history over its recent testing cycle, with the latest January 2026 inspection at 91,159 miles showing no defects whatsoever. The trend is stable and positive, as every test since November 2020—covering 28,770 miles—has passed without advisories or failures. Such consistency suggests the vehicle has either been well-maintained by its previous owner or, more likely, been used in a controlled environment where major components like brakes, suspension, and emissions systems were regularly checked. The absence of even minor advisories in recent years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage, raising the possibility that the record may be incomplete or that the Transit has been stored intermittently rather than driven heavily. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical expectations for a 12-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging around 7,597 miles per year. There are no sudden spikes or prolonged gaps that would indicate abusive use or neglect—between February 2024 (84,213 miles) and January 2026 (91,159 miles), the vehicle covered just 6,946 miles in 22 months, a rate that could imply seasonal or intermittent operation. The most notable observation is the 19-month gap between the February 2022 and November 2020 tests, where mileage increased by only 8,533 miles over 19 months—a pace suggesting the Transit may have spent extended periods off the road. This could mean the vehicle was used for light duties or stored, which would explain the pristine MOT record. Given the lack of recorded faults, a buyer should still verify critical areas in person, particularly those prone to silent degradation in vehicles of this age. The suspension—including coil springs, anti-roll bars, and bushings—should be checked for wear or corrosion, as these components often fail without immediate MOT consequences but can compromise handling. Braking performance must be tested dynamically, as binding calipers or uneven pad wear can go unnoticed in static tests. Structural integrity is another priority: inspect the floor pans, sills, and wheel arches for corrosion, especially if the vehicle has been exposed to salt or moisture. While the MOT history is flawless, the absence of advisories on items like tyres or wiper blades could indicate they were replaced just before testing, so their current condition should be confirmed. Finally, the emissions system—particularly the DPF or catalytic converter, if fitted—should be scrutinised if the Transit has been used predominantly in urban stop-start conditions. The clean MOT record does not rule out the need for a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic, as some failures, such as minor exhaust leaks or fluid leaks, may not always trigger an MOT advisory but could still indicate underlying issues. The vehicle’s compliance with recent tests is strong, but due diligence on these high-wear areas is essential before purchase.
