2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · DP14 WKH

The Ford Transit demonstrates a generally stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT at , miles recording only minor failures, such as a cracked nearside mirror and an inoperative rear registration plate lamp. These issues suggest routine maintenance was addressed, though recurring brake-related advisories and tyre wear from prior tests indicate ongoing attention is required. The and tests revealed corrosion on brake pipes and significant tyre wear, with the failure highlighting multiple faults, including thin brake pads and worn suspension components. While the test shows improvement, the persistence of brake and tyre issues implies the vehicle may not have been consistently maintained to optimal standards. The vehicle’s mileage of , miles over years equates to approximately , miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for its age. However, the MOT records lack data between and , creating a gap that obscures potential maintenance patterns. The failure at , miles, followed by a passing test just five days later at , miles, suggests urgent repairs were likely undertaken, though the proximity of these tests raises questions about the thoroughness of inspections. Subsequent tests in and show fewer critical failures, indicating a possible resolution of earlier issues, but not without lingering concerns. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the braking system for worn pads, binding calipers, and corroded pipes, as these were recurring faults. Suspension components, particularly the anti-roll bar ball joints and wheel bearings, require scrutiny for excessive play or wear. Structural integrity should be assessed for rust or corrosion, especially around the brake pipes and underbody. Tyre tread depth and condition, particularly on the rear wheels, warrant close examination, as multiple advisories highlight uneven wear. The vehicle’s history suggests a need for proactive maintenance, with no clear evidence of long-term neglect beyond the failure.
