2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · KX14 ABF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent MOT history. While the most recent test on 17 June 2025 at 92,657 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, the anomalous initial failure on that same day at the identical mileage suggests a specific mechanical issue that was rectified immediately prior to the passing result. Since August 2022, the van has maintained a clean record without failures, indicating a consistent level of mechanical upkeep. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per annum. Between August 2022 at 63,209 miles and July 2024 at 80,174 miles, the vehicle covered 16,965 miles, showing a slightly higher usage average during that period than the 12,483 miles covered between the 2024 and June 2025 tests. This steady progression suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, which helps prevent the seal degradation and corrosion often associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points for the Ford Transit platform, particularly the suspension components and structural integrity. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the history, it is vital to manually check for early-stage corrosion on the chassis rails and the condition of the control arm bushes. The unexplained failure and pass in June 2025 warrants a brief inquiry into what specific component was replaced to ensure it was not a recurring fault like a binding caliper or a leaking exhaust bracket that may require further attention.
