2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · JM03 RAT

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-01-30 at 150,303 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, a prior test on 2025-01-21 at the same mileage failed despite no defects being listed, suggesting potential administrative or procedural issues. The preceding tests from 2022 to 2024 show consistent passing with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past four years. The lack of recorded issues in recent tests implies the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the January 2025 failure raises questions about the reliability of the testing process or unrecorded concerns. The vehicle’s mileage of 150,303 miles at 12 years old equates to approximately 12,525 miles annually, exceeding typical averages for its age. This suggests frequent use, which may accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. Notably, the mileage increased by only 6,283 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, indicating possible periods of reduced activity or inconsistent usage. The absence of defects in earlier tests implies no immediate structural or mechanical risks, but the high annual average necessitates scrutiny of drivetrain and brake system longevity. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often exacerbates these issues. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, particularly given the vehicle’s age. Corrosion, especially in underbody components, warrants close examination, as it can compromise structural integrity. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the lack of detailed defect records means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s condition and identify any latent issues not captured in the tests.
