2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · DX64 VJG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass in August 2025 at 83,892 miles. However, the recent maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. A failure just six days prior to the latest test revealed significant safety-related defects, specifically a missing offside front drive shaft CV boot and an excessively worn nearside front suspension arm bush. While these faults have been rectified, the history indicates that mechanical components are only addressed once they reach the point of MOT-level failure. At 83,892 miles, this twelve-year-old Ford Transit has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per year, which is consistent with light commercial or secondary vehicle use. The mileage accumulation is steady, with a gap of 4,584 miles recorded between October 2022 and August 2023. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy daily stress, but the age of the vehicle explains the persistent degradation of rubber components and the onset of surface corrosion as seen in the recurring reports regarding suspension bushes and steering pipes. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry and drivetrain. The record shows a chronic issue with drive shaft CV boots, which deteriorated from severely worn in 2022 to missing entirely in 2025. You should check for grease leakage around the boots and verify the condition of the arm bushes on both the nearside and offside sides. Additionally, the 2023 report of corroded offside front brake pipes and steering hoses suggests that the vehicle is susceptible to environmental corrosion, requiring a close look at the fluid lines to ensure no further leaks are imminent.
