2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · DX14 RGO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. While it passed its most recent test on 27 May 2025 at 219,535 miles, this followed just one day after a failure involving multiple critical defects. The trend shows a recurring pattern where mechanical issues such as binding brakes and leaks are repeatedly flagged until forced intervention occurs. The transition from a significant failure to a marginal pass suggests that the owner only addresses faults when strictly necessary to maintain the legal certificate. At 219,535 miles over 12 years, this Transit has covered a high average of approximately 18,300 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage between May 2023 and May 2025, where the vehicle covered 21,418 miles in two years, indicating heavy-duty commercial application. This high mileage profile places significant stress on heavy-duty components, which is reflected in the frequent failures of the braking system, wheel bearings, and engine mountings recorded throughout the last three years of the history. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system due to the history of offside rear binding and imbalanced front brakes. The record notes corroded brake pipes covered in grease in 2023 and 2024, which suggests previous attempts to mask rust or leaks rather than a full replacement of the lines. The presence of an oil leak and a fuel filter housing leak in 2025 requires a close look at the engine bay to ensure these are not escalating. Furthermore, the offside front wheel bearing noted rough in 2025 and the engine mounts noted with play in 2023 indicate that the suspension and drivetrain supports are nearing the end of their service life.
