2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · EX14 KHY

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a trend of deferred maintenance and recurring mechanical degradation. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 113,100 miles passed, it carried over advisories for a worn nearside front wheel bearing and an offside front anti-roll bar ball joint. These issues mirror previous faults noted in the December 2024 test, indicating that suspension components are being allowed to reach a point of failure rather than being replaced as a preventative measure. At 113,100 miles over a 12-year period, this Ford Transit has averaged approximately 9,400 miles per year, which is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age. The record shows steady usage patterns, with roughly 11,000 miles covered between November 2023 and November 2024. However, the mileage does not offset the poor mechanical condition, as the vehicle has consistently flagged multiple oil leaks from the engine, gearbox, and differential across every test back since at least late 2023. A buyer must prioritise a structural inspection of the chassis, specifically regarding the nearside front sill which was flagged as holed in late 2024. The history reveals significant corrosion issues on the brake pipes at the fuel tank and rear axle, which were noted in 2023 and show no evidence of repair. Furthermore, the front suspension is in a decline, with worn lower arm bushes and deteriorated wishbone rear bushes appearing across multiple inspections. The braking system requires close attention due to a history of pitted and scored discs alongside a failure for low brake efficiency in November 2023. The persistent oil leaks, combined with low power steering fluid levels and a frayed seat belt, suggest a vehicle that has been maintained to the minimum standard required to pass an MOT test. If proceeding, a professional inspection of the structural integrity and the extent of the fluid leaks is essential.
