2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · LE63 ACY

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2025‑09‑01 at 124 664 miles, but the tester flagged a defective nearside front wiper blade and a severely deteriorated nearside front anti‑roll bar ball‑joint dust cover. Brake‑related advisories have not appeared since the 2018 failures, indicating an improving trend in that system, yet the emergence of suspension and wiper issues shows a mixed maintenance pattern. Overall roadworthiness remains acceptable, provided the identified components are addressed. Mileage accumulation has been roughly consistent with the vehicle’s age, averaging about 10 400 miles per year over its life, but the jump from 108 503 miles in August 2024 to 124 664 miles in September 2025 reflects a recent annualised increase of roughly 15 500 miles. The MOT record stays current, with the latest test only ten months before the present date of 2026‑07‑30, and the interval between tests remains close to the standard annual schedule. A buyer should inspect the nearside front wiper blade and the anti‑roll bar ball‑joint dust cover for wear or corrosion, and examine the offside rear tyre for edge wear near the legal limit. The spare tyre, previously recorded as defective, must be verified for serviceability, and the brake pads, pedal anti‑slip provision, and central stop lamp should be checked despite recent clear reports. Suspension bushes and mounting points deserve close scrutiny given the anti‑roll bar condition, and any signs of rust or structural degradation should be assessed to ensure long‑term integrity.
