2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · LG64 JNU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of deferred suspension and braking repairs. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 74,173 miles passed, it returned with multiple advisories that mirror previous failures. The persistence of corroded offside rear brake pipes and worn front suspension arm bushes across 2024 and 2026 suggests that the previous owner is only addressing faults when they reach inspection thresholds rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. Between August 2023 at 64,783 miles and July 2024 at 71,872 miles, the vehicle covered over 7,000 miles, showing active use. However, the gap of only 1,262 miles between the July 2024 and tests indicates a period of lower usage, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and the manifestation of the bushing cracking issues seen in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the rear-most bushes on both sides have been flagged as worn or cracked for years. These components will eventually lead to uneven tyre wear and unpredictable handling. The offside rear brake pipe also requires close attention for structural thinning to ensure the corrosion has not progressed beyond a point that would cause a hydraulic failure. Additionally, the nearside front drive shaft boot, which failed in 2024, should be checked for grease leakage or subsequent tearing to ensure the replacement was effective and remains intact.
