Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mech
When viewing this Transit, prioritise a physical inspection of the drivetrain and suspension. The 2021 MOT recorded issues with a nearside rear wheel bearing and a deteriorated CV boot, so you should check for any residual play in the wheels or clicking sounds when turning the steering.
Ask the seller for evidence of recent maintenance regarding the tyres, as the 2021 record noted inner edge wear, which can indicate alignment issues. Ensure the windscreen damage noted in the 2024 and 2025 tests has been addressed or is not a recurring issue that could lead to a failure.
As a 2.2L diesel, running costs will be heavily influenced by load and driving style. Fuel economy for this model typically varies based on payload, but buyers should budget for diesel costs consistent with a large commercial vehicle.
Tax and insurance groups for a 2014 Transit are standard for its class, but insurance can be higher for commercial vehicles used for business. Maintenance costs should be budgeted higher due to the vehicle's age and the 139,917 miles already covered, particularly for wear-and-tear items like tyres, brakes, and suspension components.
Specifically inspect the nearside rear area and the drive shafts. The MOT history from 2021 highlighted a nearside rear wheel bearing with play and a severely deteriorated CV boot; you must verify these specific components have been replaced with quality parts.
Additionally, check the condition of the tyres. The 2021 record noted wear on the inside edge, which is a classic sign of incorrect tracking or suspension geometry issues. Finally, check the windscreen for any cracks or chips that were flagged in the 2024 and 2025 MOT tests to ensure they do not fall into the category of an immediate failure.
This 2014 silver Ford Transit has covered 139,917 miles since its first registration in July 2014. The MOT history shows a transition from mechanical defects in 2021 to recent windscreen damage advisories in 2024 and 2025. Given the high mileage relative to the model average, any purchase should be predicated on a comprehensive mechanical check.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 74.3% average MOT pass rate, with common failure points including headlamps, corrosion, and tyres.
