2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · EO64 TVN

Tyre wear and a deteriorating front drive‑shaft CV boot dominate the vehicle’s MOT narrative, with repeated advisories about rear and front tyres edging close to the legal limit and a severe boot condition flagged in 2024; despite these recurring points, the last two tests in 2025 and 2026 recorded a clean pass, suggesting the most recent service work has brought the critical items back within acceptable limits. At 106,379 mi spread over twelve years the average annual mileage sits around 8,800 mi, a figure that aligns with typical commercial‑van usage and does not indicate excessive short‑trip abuse or prolonged storage periods. The MOT history shows no multi‑year gaps, implying the vehicle has been regularly inspected and driven, which helps maintain component health but also means consumables such as tyres and brakes have been subject to steady wear cycles. Prospective buyers should give the tyre set a thorough visual and tactile inspection: confirm tread depth exceeds 1.6 mm on all four wheels, look for sidewall cracks, bulges or uneven wear that could hint at alignment or suspension issues, and feel for any vibration or pulsation at higher speeds that may stem from the previously noted front brake disc scoring. The CV boot on the near‑side front drive shaft should be examined for cracks, oil seepage or splatter on surrounding components; a clicking or whine when turning the steering wheel would corroborate internal joint wear and may warrant replacement before a failure occurs. A functional check of the rear stop lamp and windscreen washer system is advisable, as both were flagged in earlier tests, and a brief road‑test should include listening for loose suspension bushes, checking for any steering pull, and ensuring the brakes apply smoothly without judder. Replacing the rear tyres soon, given their advisory status in 2024, would remove the most immediate risk, while a fresh inspection of the front CV boot and brake discs will confirm whether the recent clean MOTs reflect lasting repairs or merely temporary compliance.
