2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · LL60 MAS

The 2014 Ford Transit currently presents a stable and fully compliant roadworthiness status, culminating in a clean pass on 31 January 2026 at 175,872 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend is demonstrably stable and resolving, following a failed test on 30 January 2023 at 151,472 miles that curiously listed no specific defects. The subsequent retest on 1 February 2023 passed with no defects, and the vehicle has maintained an unbroken chain of clean passes since. This indicates consistent upkeep and immediate rectification of any issues, with no recurring mechanical or structural advisories appearing in the recent history. Accumulating 175,872 miles over twelve years equates to roughly 14,656 miles annually, a figure notably higher than the national average. The mileage progression shows consistent high-intensity use rather than long periods of inactivity. Between 17 January 2024 and 31 January 2025, the van covered 7,430 miles, and from 31 January 2025 to 31 January 2026, it added 6,001 miles. The slight deceleration in annual accumulation suggests the vehicle remains in active commercial service but is covering slightly less ground year-on-year. The tight, regular intervals of the MOT tests confirm the vehicle has been in continuous operation without significant lay-up periods. Despite the flawless recent MOT record, the high mileage demands a rigorous physical inspection of structural and mechanical wear items. A buyer must thoroughly examine the chassis and load floor for corrosion, paying close attention to cross-members and outruts typical of high-use Transits. Suspension components, including coil springs and trailing arm bushes, require close scrutiny for cracking or deterioration given the 175,872 miles of commercial duty. Brake discs and pads should be measured for wear, and the calipers checked for any signs of binding that might not have triggered a failure but indicate impending seizure. Tyre condition and age are critical; uneven wear could point to alignment issues or worn steering linkages. Finally, the exhaust system and DPF should be inspected for leaks or excessive soot, ensuring the emissions system remains intact under high-load conditions.
