2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · HV64 HGC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive prevention. The most recent test in April 2026 at 98,549 miles passed despite an immediate advisory for a corroded offside front brake pipe and a nail in the rearside tyre. This mirrors a recurring issue from the April 2025 test, where both front brake pipes were flagged for corrosion and grease contamination, suggesting that the braking system hardware has not been fully addressed despite previous warnings. At 98,549 miles over 12 years, the Transit averages approximately 8,200 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation is steady, with roughly 2,300 miles recorded between April 2024 and April 2025, and another 1,091 miles between April 2025 and April 2026. This consistent use suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing which often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber components. A buyer must pay close attention to the front suspension and braking system. The record shows offside front suspension arm bushes were worn in both 2023 and 2024, indicating persistent wear on the front-end geometry. The April 2024 failure due to split CV boots on both drive shafts indicates these components were replaced, but a physical inspection should check for grease leakage or premature play in the joints. Furthermore, the recurring advisories for corroded brake pipes across multiple years represent a significant risk of future failure if the lines are not replaced rather than merely cleaned.
