2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · KX14 ACO

The vehicle appears to be in a stable but aging condition, having passed its most recent MOT on 3 June 2026 at 102,602 miles. While the vehicle remains roadworthy, the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of wear on consumable components, specifically within the braking and front suspension systems. The most recent advisories regarding thin front brake pads and a worn offside front suspension arm bush suggest that while the vehicle is being maintained to pass inspections, the owner is currently managing the typical degradation expected of a commercial vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a light-to-medium use profile for a 2014 Ford Transit, averaging roughly 8,550 miles per year. The records show steady progress from 24,798 miles in March 2017 to the current 102,602 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, and the mileage increase between the July 2025 test at 98,410 miles and the June 2026 test at 102,602 miles indicates regular, predictable usage. This steady progression suggests the vehicle has not spent extended periods stationary, which helps mitigate certain types of age-related deterioration. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and braking assemblies. The MOT history reveals a persistent issue with the offside front suspension arm pin or bush, which has been flagged in 2021, 2022, 2025, and again in 2026. This indicates a recurring wear pattern that may require more than just minor adjustments to resolve permanently. Furthermore, the braking system has shown frequent advisories for worn, pitted, or scored discs and thinning pads across multiple years, including 2019, 2023, and 2025. The 2025 test also highlighted fluctuating service brake performance and worn wiper blades, suggesting that while the vehicle is functional, it is nearing a stage where several maintenance items may require simultaneous attention. The slight oil misting from the power steering pipes noted in May 2021 should also be checked to ensure the seepage has not progressed into a more significant leak. Overall, the mechanical history points to a vehicle that requires routine attention to its front-end components to maintain its current standard of operation.
