2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · LS14 EKP

The most recent MOT on 2026-03-09 recorded three advisories: a front brake disc worn but not excessively (1.1.14 (a) (i)), an offside rear tyre with cracking/perishing (5.2.3 (d) (ii)), and a corroded central rear brake pipe covered in grease (1.1.11 (c)). No failures were noted, but the recurring issues highlight ongoing maintenance needs. A pattern of brake disc wear, tyre degradation, and suspension component wear emerges across multiple MOTs. Front and rear brake discs were flagged as pitted or scored in 2024 and 2025, though not seriously weakened. Tyres consistently showed near-limit wear or damage, particularly on the offside rear and front positions. Suspension arm bushings were noted in 2024, suggesting potential handling or alignment concerns. These issues show no clear worsening trend but indicate persistent, minor faults requiring attention. The vehicle’s mileage of 69,654 miles over 12 years equates to ~5,804 miles annually, which is low for its age. This could imply lighter use or periods of inactivity, which might accelerate corrosion or component stiffness. However, the low mileage also suggests less wear on high-mileage components like engines or transmissions.
